A rationale for creating highly aligned distributions of molecules is that it enables vector properties referenced to molecule-fixed axes (the molecular frame) to be determined. In the present work, the degree of alignment that is necessary in order... Read More about Accessing the molecular frame through strong-field alignment of distributions of gas phase molecules.
