Abstract

Production, characterization and control of polarization states of molecules (specifically, alignment and/or orientation) are of importance for investigating in detail the stereodynamics of elementary processes involving elastic, inelastic and reactive events and also to prepare targets for selective photodynamical investigations. The focus here is on those molecular beam techniques which show perspectives in the applications offering appealing features for “duty cycle” and intensity characteristics. After a review of the basic experimental advances, mainly obtained in the last ten years, the attention will be addressed to recent studies carried out on the collisional alignment of hydrocarbon molecules and on orientation of symmetric top molecules by exploiting honeycomb hexapole fields. The first case is a prototype of “natural” polarization techniques, the second one of those where polarization is “forced” by external fields.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
