Photostop: production of zero-velocity molecules by photodissociation in a molecular beam (2011)
Journal Article
Trottier, A., Carty, D., & Wrede, E. (2011). Photostop: production of zero-velocity molecules by photodissociation in a molecular beam. Molecular Physics, 109(5), 725-733. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2010.550142

Photostop is an accessible technique capable of producing atoms or molecules at a standstill in the laboratory frame. Starting with a NO2/Xe molecular beam with a mean velocity of 415 m s-1 and a longitudinal translational temperature of 6 K, NO2 mol...

Production of cold bromine atoms at zero mean velocity by photodissociation (2011)
Journal Article
Doherty, W., Bell, M., Softley, T., Rowland, A., Wrede, E., & Carty, D. (2011). Production of cold bromine atoms at zero mean velocity by photodissociation. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 13(18), 8441-8447. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0cp02472d

The production of a translationally cold (T < 1 K) sample of bromine atoms with estimated densities of up to 108 cm−3 using photodissociation is presented. A molecular beam of Br2 seeded in Kr is photodissociated into Br + Br* fragments, and the velo... Read More about Production of cold bromine atoms at zero mean velocity by photodissociation.
