Small reactive organic molecules are key intermediates in interstellar chemistry, leading to the formation of biologically-relevant species as stars and planets form. These molecules are identified in space via their ...

Infrared spectra of the CO$_2$-CO dimer are observed in the carbon dioxide $\nu_3$ asymmetric stretch region ($\sim$2350 cm$^{-1}$) using a tunable infrared optical parametric oscillator to probe a pulsed slit jet supersonic ...

Absorption spectroscopy typically recovers the average thermodynamic properties along a laser path. However, broadband laser sources, including the dual frequency comb spectrometer, measure many absorption features which ...

This presentation describes the application of a miniature millimeter-wave rotational spectrometer to the detection of laser-ablation products. The laboratory experiments we present are forerunners to possible future ...

It was recently shown that coupling of ultralight scalar dark matter to the standard model leads to oscillations of fundamental constants and, therefore, may be observed in clock-comparison experiments. Highly charged ions ...

O($^{1}$D) is well known to undergo exothermic insertion reactions into X-H bonds ,where X is C, N, or H. O($^{1}$D) insertion reactions can therefore be used as a tool for the formation of unstable species for collection ...

We examine the interplay of docking preference on 1-naphthol in van der Waals complexes with simple molecules. The advantage of 1-naphthol is that it allows for two main docking sites, the first on the conjugated $\pi$-system ...

I present new methodology for the spectroscopic study at very low temperatures of non-rigid organic moleculesdetected in star formation regions of the interstellar medium. As examples of these studies, recent relevant ...

\par Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) is a technique that can be used to obtain the ground state energy and ground state wave function given a potential energy surface (PES) that fully describes the system of interest. However, ...

The weak infrared spectrum of CO$_2$-Ar corresponding to the ($v_1$, $v_2^{l_2}$, $v_3$) = (01$^1$1) $\leftarrow$ (01$^1$0) hot band of CO$_2$ is detected in the region of the carbon dioxide $\nu_3$ fundamental vibration ...
