Coherent control of enrichment and conversion of molecular spin isomers

چکیده

A theoretical model of nuclear spin conversion in molecules controlled by an external electromagnetic radiation resonant to rotational transition has been developed. It has been shown that one can produce an enrichment of spin isomers and influence their conversion rates in two ways, through coherences and through level population change induced by radiation. Influence of conversion is ranged from significant speed up to almost complete inhibition of the process by proper choice of frequency and intensity of the external field. 03.65.-w; 32.80.Bx; 33.50.-j; Typeset using REVTEX E-mail: [email protected] 1

Coherent Control of Nuclear Spin Isomers of Molecules: the Role of Molecular Motion * Typeset Using Revt E X * the Work Was Presented at the Viith International Symposium on Magnetic Field and Spin

Molecular center-of-mass motion is taken into account in the theory of coherent control of nuclear spin isomers of molecules. It is shown that infrared radiation resonant to the molecular rovibrational transition can substantially enrich nuclear spin isomers and speed up their conversion rate.

Enrichment of nuclear spin isomers by molecular coherent control

Nuclear spin isomers were discovered in the late 1920s when ortho and para H2 were separated by deep cooling of hydrogen gas. This technique was successful because of extremely large gap between the ortho and para states in H2. Investigations of heavier isomers were not possible to perform until recently because of the lack of appropriate enrichment methods. First separation of heavy molecules ...

Light - induced conversion of nuclear spin isomers of molecules

We report on a new phenomenon of molecular nuclear spin isomers conversion in the field of resonant laser radiation. It is based on the isomer-selective optical excitation and the difference of conversion rates for excited and unexcited molecules. We expect the considerable magnitude of the effect for all molecules which absorb the radiation of existing lasers. In a recent work [1] a phenomenon...

access to very weak interactions in molecules

It is predicted that nuclear spin conversion in molecules can be efficiently controlled by strong laser radiation resonant to rovibrational molecular transition. The phenomenon can be used for substantial enrichment of spin isomers, or for detection of very weak (10 − 100 Hz) interactions in molecules.

Separating para and ortho water.

Water exists as two nuclear-spin isomers, para and ortho, determined by the overall spin of its two hydrogen nuclei. For isolated water molecules, the conversion between these isomers is forbidden and they act as different molecular species. Yet, these species are not readily separated, and no pure para sample has been produced. Accordingly, little is known about their specific physical and che...
