Rotational Brownian Motion of a Massive Binary
The orientation of a massive binary undergoes a random walk due to gravitational encounters with field stars. The rotational diffusion coefficient for a circular-orbit binary is derived via scattering experiments. The binary is shown to reorient itself by an angle of order √ m/M during the time that its semi-major axis shrinks appreciably, where M is the binary mass and m the perturber mass. Im...
متن کاملControl of rotational wave-packet dynamics in asymmetric top molecules
We combine newly developed experimental and theoretical methods to explore and control the rotations of asymmetric top molecules. In the low-temperature limit, the revival spectra of laser-driven rotational wave packets exhibit a fascinating quantum-mechanical structure, which is qualitatively different for asymmetric tops compared to symmetric or linear tops. With increasing fluence, the struc...
متن کاملBrownian motion of an ellipsoid.
We studied the Brownian motion of isolated ellipsoidal particles in water confined to two dimensions and elucidated the effects of coupling between rotational and translational motion. By using digital video microscopy, we quantified the crossover from short-time anisotropic to long-time isotropic diffusion and directly measured probability distributions functions for displacements. We confirme...
متن کاملDesign of tailored microwave pulses to create rotational coherent states for an asymmetric-top molecule
Tailored microwave pulses, to guide asymmetric-top molecules from selected rotational states belonging to the vibronic ground state to generalized angular-momentum coherent states, are designed by using optimal control theory. Characteristics that the molecules have to fulfill in order to achieve the goal with feasible pulses are discussed. Properties of the pulses are discussed as well. The fu...
متن کاملBrownian Brownian Motion – I
A classical model of Brownian motion consists of a heavy molecule submerged into a gas of light atoms in a closed container. In this work we study a 2D version of this model, where the molecule is a heavy disk of mass M ≫ 1 and the gas is represented by just one point particle of mass m = 1, which interacts with the disk and the walls of the container via elastic collisions. Chaotic behavior of...
