英文摘要：

Stereodynamic control of resonant molecular collisions has emerged as a new frontier in cold molecule research. Recent experimental studies have focused on weakly interacting molecular systems such as HD collisions with H$_2$, D$_2$ and He. We report here the possibility of such control in strongly interacting systems taking rotational relaxation in cold collisions of HCl and H$_2$. Using explicit quantum scattering calculations in full six dimensions it is shown that robust control of the collision dynamics is possible even when multiple (overlapping) shape-resonances coexist in a narrow energy range, indicating that cold stereochemistry offers great promise for many molecules beyond simple systems. We demonstrate a striking case where two prominent peaks in overlapping resonances are switched-off simultaneously by suitable alignment of the HCl molecule.

Stereodynamics of rotationally inelastic scattering in cold He+HD collisions

Stereodynamics of cold collisions has become a fertile ground for quantized studies of molecular collisions and control of the collision outcome. A benchmark process for stereodynamic control is rotational transition in He+HD collisions. This process was recently probed experimentally by Perreault et al. by examining quenching from $j=2$ to $j'=0$ state in the $v=1$ vibrational manifold. Here, through explicit quantum scattering calculations on a highly accurate ab initio interaction potential for He+H$_2$, we reveal how a combination of two shape resonances arising from $l=1$ and $l=2$ partia…

Universal stereodynamics of cold atom-molecule collisions in electric fields

We use numerically exact quantum dynamics calculations to demonstrate universal stereoselectivity of cold collisions of $^2Π$ molecules with $^1$S-state atoms in an external electric field. We show that cold collisions of OH molecules in their low-field-seeking $f$ states, whose dipole moments are oriented against the field direction, are much more likely to lead to inelastic scattering than those of molecules oriented along the field direction, causing nearly perfect steric asymmetry in the inelastic collision cross sections. The universal nature of this effect is due to the threshold suppres…

Stereodynamical control of cold collisions between two aligned D2 molecules

Resonant scattering of optically state-prepared and aligned molecules in the cold regime allows the most detailed interrogation and control of bimolecular collisions. This technique has recently been applied to collisions of two aligned ortho-D2 molecules prepared in the j=2 rotational level of the v=2 vibrational manifold using the Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage technique. Here, we develop the theoretical formalism for collisions of two aligned molecules and apply our approach to state-prepared D2(v=2,j=2) + D2(v=2,j=2) --> D2(v=2,j=2) + D2(v=2,j=0) collisions. Quantum scattering calcu…

Stereodynamic control of cold rotationally inelastic CO + HD collisions

Quantum control of molecular collision dynamics is an exciting emerging area of cold collisions. Co-expansion of collision partners in a supersonic molecular beam combined with precise control of their quantum states and alignment/orientation using Stark-induced Adiabatic Raman Passage allows exquisite stereodynamic control of the collision outcome. This approach has recently been demonstrated for rotational quenching of HD in collisions with H2, D2, and He and D2 by He. Here we illustrate this approach for HD(v=0,j=2)+CO(v=0,j=0) -> HD(v'=0,j')+CO(v'=0,j') collisions through full-dimensional …

Unravelling the stereodynamics of cold HD-H2 collisions

Measuring inelastic rates with partial wave resolution requires temperatures close to a Kelvin or below, even for the lightest molecule. In a recent experiment Perreault et al. [1] studied collisional relaxation of excited HD molecules in the v = 1, j = 2 state by para- and ortho-H2 at a temperature of about 1 K, extracting the angular distribution of scattered HD in the v = 1,j = 0 state. By state-preparation of the HD molecules, control of the angular distribution of scattered HD was demonstrated. Here, we report a first-principles simulation of that experiment which enables us to attribute …

On the use of stereodynamical effects to control cold chemical reactions: the H + D$_{2}\longleftrightarrow$ D + HD case study

Quantum calculations are reported for the stereodynamic control of the H + D$_{2}\longleftrightarrow$ D + HD chemical reaction in the energy range of 1-50 K. Stereodynamic control is achieved by a formalism similar to that reported by Perreault et al. [Nature Chem. 10, 561 (2018)] in recent experimental works in which the alignment of the molecular bond axis relative to the incident relative velocity is controlled by selective preparations of the molecule in a specific or superposition of magnetic projection quantum numbers of the initial molecular rotational level. The approach presented here…

The role of low energy resonances in the stereodynamics of cold He+D2 collisions

In recent experiments using the Stark-induced Adiabatic Raman Passage (SARP) technique, Zhou et al. measured the product's angular distribution for the collisions between He and aligned D2 molecules at cold collision energies. The signatures of the angular distributions were attributed to a l=2 resonance that governs scattering at low energies. A first principles quantum mechanical treatment of this problem is presented here using a highly accurate interaction potential for the He-H2 system. Instead, our results predict a very intense l=1 resonance at low energies, leading to angular distribut…

Cold collisions of rovibrationally excited D$_2$ molecules

The H$_2$+H$_2$ system has long been considered as a benchmark system for ro-vibrational energy transfer in bimolecular collisions. However, most studies thus far have focused on collisions involving H$_2$ molecules in the ground vibrational level or in the first excited vibrational state. While H$_2$+H$_2$/HD collisions have received wide attention due to the important role they play in astrophysics, D$_2$+D$_2$ collisions have received much less attention. Recently, Zhou et al. [Nat. Chem. 4 658 (2022)] examined stereodynamic aspects of rotational energy transfer in collisions of two aligned…

Overlapping Resonances Interference-induced Transparency: The $S_0 \to S_2/S_1$ Photoexcitation Spectrum of Pyrazine

The phenomenon of "overlapping resonances interference-induced transparency" (ORIT) is introduced and studied in detail for the $S_0 \to S_2/S_1$ photoexcitation of cold pyrazine (C$_4$H$_4$N$_2$). In ORIT a molecule becomes transparent at specific wavelengths due to interferences between envelopes of spectral lines displaying overlapping resonances. An example is the $S_2\leftrightarrow S_1$ internal conversion in pyrazine where destructive interference between overlapping resonances causes the $S_0 \to S_2/S_1$ light absorption to disappear at certain wavelengths. ORIT may be of practical im…

Assignment of resonances in dissociative recombination of HD+ ions: high-resolution measurements compared with accurate computations

The collision-energy resolved rate coefficient for dissociative recombination of HD+ ions in the vibrational ground state is measured using the photocathode electron target at the heavy-ion storage ring TSR. Rydberg resonances associated with ro-vibrational excitation of the HD+ core are scanned as a function of the electron collision energy with an instrumental broadening below 1 meV in the low-energy limit. The measurement is compared to calculations using multichannel quantum defect theory, accounting for rotational structure and interactions and considering the six lowest rotational energy…
