A synchrotron for neutral molecules
Here we report on a synchrotron for neutral molecules that consists of two hexapole focusers bent into a torus. By switching the voltages applied to the two half-rings, polar molecules can be confined in tight packets for up to a second as they revolve around the ring. In this article, the operation and trapping parameters of the molecular synchrotron are discussed. We plan to use a molecular s...
متن کاملDecelerating Neutral Dipolar Molecules
Slowing down atoms using laser cooling, together with techniques like magnetic trapping and evaporative cooling, has led to numerous exciting results over the last decade [1], with the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation as the most spectacular achievement [2]. Laser-cooling schemes are applicable to atoms since closed multilevel systems can be realized and many consecutive absorptionemis...
متن کاملA traveling wave decelerator for neutral polar molecules.
Recently, a decelerator for neutral polar molecules has been presented that operates on the basis of macroscopic, three-dimensional, traveling electrostatic traps [A. Osterwalder, S. A. Meek, G. Hammer, H. Haak, and G. Meijer, Phys. Rev. A 81, 051401 (2010)]. In the present paper, a complete description of this decelerator is given, with emphasis on the electronics and the mechanical design. Ex...
متن کاملA 3D printed beam splitter for polar neutral molecules
Supersonic molecular beams, obtained by expanding a gas from high pressure into vacuum, have been among the main tools in gas phase spectroscopy and reaction dynamics research for several decades.[1] A limit on experimental possibilities is imposed by weak and fluctuating signals, when small modifications of the beam composition need to be detected upon irradiation with light, or after collisio...
متن کاملA selector for structural isomers of neutral molecules
We have selected and spatially separated the two conformers of 3-aminophenol (C6H7NO) present in a molecular beam. Analogous to the separation of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratios in a quadrupole mass filter, the neutral conformers are separated based on their different mass-to-dipole-moment ratios in an ac electric quadrupole selector. For a given ac frequency, the individual conformer...
