Toward Controlling Large Molecules — •Nicole Teschmit1, Daniel Horke1, and Jochen Küpper1,2 — 1Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, DESY — 2Department of Physics and Center for Ultrafast Imaging, University of Hamburg
The control of small gas-phase molecules has been experimentally demonstrated. This
includes the separation of different conformers [1], the alignment and orientation
of molecules in space [2], and the separation of different quantum states
or clusters by using static and/or dynamic electric fields [3].
We are now working toward applying these techniques to larger molecules. This requires internally cold
gas-phase molecules with high density, which will be produced with a new
laser-desorption setup.
By controlling large molecules structural and dynamic information can be gained
from X-ray or electron diffractive imaging experiments, for example at free-electron lasers [4].
