FAST REACTIONS BETWEEN DIATOMIC AND POLYATOMIC-MOLECULES Bằng Stoecklin, T, Clary, D

“…Calculations of rate constants are presented for fast neutral reactions between polar diatomic and polyatomic molecules. The method applies the infinite-order sudden approximation to treat the rotations of the diatomic molecule and a rotationally adiabatic approximation with asymmetric top wavefunctions to describe the rotations of the polyatomic. …”

Physical chemistry: When molecules don't rebound. Bằng Brouard, M

“…If an incoming atom strikes one end of the molecule, the spring compresses and the vibrating molecule jumps backwards. …”

Oligomeric MHC molecules and their homologues: state of the art. Bằng Dunbar, P, Ogg, G

Mechanically interlocked and redox switchable molecules at surfaces Bằng Rahman, H

“…</p> <p><b>Chapter One</b> introduces the field of mechanically interlocked molecules focusing on rotaxane and catenane surface assemblies in the form of single molecule thick self-assembled monolayers. …”

Pulse shaping for broadband photoassociation of cold molecules Bằng Friedman, M

“…Although methods of cooling atoms are well established, molecular cooling is made difficult by molecules’ additional vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom. …”

Photofragment velocity-map imaging of organic molecules Bằng Gardiner, SH

“…</p> <p>A study of the UV photodissociation of two neutral alkyl iodide molecules demonstrates the first use in our laboratory of ‘universal’ ionization in combination with VMI. …”

Antigen presentation and the association of class-I molecules. Bằng Elliott, T, Cerundolo, V, Ohlen, C, Ljunggren, H, Karre, K, Townsend, A

“…We have gone on to show that stable assembly of class-I molecules can be supported in detergent extracts of the mutant cells when specific peptides are added. …”

Robust storage qubits in ultracold polar molecules Bằng Blackmore, JA, Gregory, PD, Bromley, SL, Hutson, JM, Cornish, SL

“…The nuclear spin states of ultracold molecules prepared in the singlet rovibrational ground state are an excellent candidate for encoding and storing quantum information. …”

Fluorescent nanodiamonds for nanosensing and single-molecule imaging Bằng Sow, M

“…Nevertheless, the implementation of fluorescent NDs (FNDs) in single-molecule imaging has been limited by the lack of single-molecule characterisation methods and the low brightness of 10-nm FNDs.…”
