Determination of photodissociation anisotropy parameter β for RbI molecules by sub-Doppler spectroscopy

Imaging Atomic Orbital Polarization in Photodissociation

“…The experimental study of the angular distribution of spin-oriented Rb ground-state photofragments produced in photolysis of RbI has been reported by Korovin and co-workers. ,, They used circularly polarized photolysis light at 266 nm to access the second excited continuum of the molecule, which correlates directly to the ground-state (5 2 S 1/2 ) rubidium atom and the spin−orbit excited-state (5 2 P 1/2 ) iodine atom. The continuum consists of three spectrally unresolvable states of the 1, 0 + , and 0 − symmetry (with respect to the Hund’s case c coupling scheme) .…”

Photodissociation dynamics of the LiF molecule: Two- and three-state descriptions

“…Many of these works tackle the dynamical problems of diatomic systems, starting investigations from the simplest hydrogenlike ions or molecules (see, for example, Refs. [10][11][12][13][14] and references therein) to manyelectron objects [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Photofragment angular momentum distributions from oriented and aligned polyatomic molecules: beyond the axial recoil limit

“…In this treatment the photofragment polarization is decomposed into coherent and incoherent contributions from transitions to multiple dissociative states. This formalism, and an equivalent molecular-frame formalism by Rakitzis and Zare [3], was used to successfully describe the photofragment polarization measured from the photodissociation of a number of diatomic molecules (well described by the axial recoil approximation) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. More recently, photofragment polarization has been measured from the photodissociation of polyatomic molecules, for which the axial recoil approximation breaks down [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”
