High-fidelity microwave-driven quantum logic in intermediate-field 43Ca+ by Harty, T, Thomas Peter Harty

“…While ⁴³Ca⁺ has previously been used as a qubit, its relatively complicated level structure - with a nuclear spin of 7/2 and low-lying D-states -- makes cooling it in the intermediate field an intimidating prospect. …”

Electron-induced dynamics of small molecules of atmospheric and astrochemical relevance by Heathcote, D

“…We find that fragmentation following electron ionisation is dominated by dissociation from low-lying electronic states of the molecule, and that a large portion of the energy available, i.e. the kinetic energy of the incident electron, is carried away by the ionising and ejected electrons, rather than being transferred to the molecular framework.…”

Roadmap on STIRAP applications by Bergmann, K, Naegerl, H, Panda, C, Kuhn, A

“…The subsequent articles discuss the experiments underway to demonstrate the potential of STIRAP for populating otherwise inaccessible high-lying Rydberg states of molecules, or controlling and cooling the translational motion of particles in a molecular beam or the polarization of angular-momentum states. …”

Developing surface ionisation charge-transfer dynamics of hydrogen Rydberg atoms into an energy-resolved probe of surfaces by Kohlhoff, M

“…For hydrogen Rydberg atoms, surface ionisation is detected for distances up to 10 µm, with a double series of high-lying image states extending far from the graphene film possibly creating a quasi-continuum at large atom-surface separations with a density of states beyond the resolution of the Rydberg states from <em>n</em>=20 to 40. …”

Photoexcited state dynamics in carotenoids by Manawadu, D

“…In carotenoids, the first step of SF is thought to be internal conversion of the photoexcited 1¹<em>B</em>_u⁺ state to a correlated triplet-pair state.

The Interpretation of the Spectra of Diatomic Molecules by Scott, P

“…Although the monohydrides are the simplest transition metal compounds, very little experimental information on them is available, and the calculations attempt to predict and rationalise the orderings of their ground and low-lying electronic states.</p> <p>Hartree-Fock calculations are performed on the molecule ScH, and the correlation energies of the low-lying states are estimated semi-empirically from atomic data. …”
