72. [L] Aligning and imaging molecules inside helium nanodroplets with laser pulses

Henrik Stapelfeldt (Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University, Denmark)

25/06/2018, 16:00

Invited oral (Laser)

I will show how laser pulses can align molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets and how the ability to place molecules in advantageous spatial orientations enables structural determination of molecular complexes. The talk will focus on the following topics:

1) Impulsive alignment with pulses much shorter than the molecular rotational periods. Here the focus is on understanding how the...

75. New routes to imaging the classical and quantum dynamics of finite systems

Thomas Fennel (University of Rostock)

Invited oral

When compared to atoms and solids, the collective and correlated electron dynamics in finite systems under intense light fields can be substantially modified, enhanced and controlled by local near-fields [1-3]. Near-fields result from electronic polarization and charge separation can unfold on femtosecond or even attosecond time scales [4]. In this talk, two novel routes for characterizing the...
