Journal Article
Arlt, J., Singh, D. P., Thompson, J. O., Chatterley, A. S., Hockett, P., Stapelfeldt, H., & Reid, K. L. (2021). Photoelectron angular distributions from resonant two-photon ionization of adiabatically aligned naphthalene and aniline molecules. Molecular Physics, 119(1-2), Article e1836411. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2020.1836411

Photoelectron images have been measured following the ionisation of aligned distributions of gas phase naphthalene and aniline molecules. Alignment in the adiabatic regime was achieved by interaction with a 100 ps infrared laser pulse, with ionisatio...

Accessing the molecular frame through strong-field alignment of distributions of gas phase molecules (2018)
Journal Article
Reid, K. L. (2018). Accessing the molecular frame through strong-field alignment of distributions of gas phase molecules. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 376(2115), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2017.0158

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.

We have studied the intramolecular dynamics induced by selective photoexcitation of two near-isoenergetic vibrational states in S1 p-fluorotoluene using picosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging. We find that similar dynamics ensue following the...
