Summary: | The major purpose of this work is the experimental study of the applicability of an optical centrifuge - a novel tool, utilizing non-resonant broadband laser
radiation to excite molecular rotation - to produce and control molecules
in extremely high rotational states, so called molecular "super rotors", and
to study their optical, magnetic, acoustic, hydrodynamic and quantum mechanical
properties. === Science, Faculty of === Physics and Astronomy, Department of === Graduate |
