Proton migration is a ubiquitous process in chemical reactions related to biology, combustion, and catalysis. Thus, the ability control movement of nuclei with tailored light, within hydrocarbon molecule holds promise for far-reaching applications. Here, we demonstrate steering hydrogen simple hydrocarbons, namely acetylene allene, using waveform-controlled, few-cycle laser pulses. The rearrangement dynamics are monitored coincident 3D momentum imaging spectroscopy, described...

Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments for severe depression. However, little known regarding brain functional processes mediating ECT effects. Method In a non-randomized prospective study, magnetic resonance imaging data during automatic processing subliminally presented emotional faces were obtained twice, about 6 weeks apart, in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) before and after treatment (ECT, n = 24). Additionally, control sample...

Selected features of nonsequential double ionization have been qualitatively reproduced by a multitude different (quantum and classical) approaches. In general, however, the typical uncertainty laser pulse parameters restricted number observables measured in individual experiments leave room for adjusting theoretical results to match experimental data. While this has hampering assessment approaches leading conflicting interpretations, comprehensive data that would allow such an ultimate...
The complexation of a carboxylate functionalized hexabenzocoronene with an amino polysiloxane results in polymeric complex, which forms two highly ordered discotic columnar liquid crystalline structures Col1 and Col2. By using small-angle X-ray scattering it was shown that four columns per unit cell are two-dimensionally oblique lattices. An order–order transition from to Col2 detected at about 90 °C. lattice constants = b 5.0 nm γ 112°, 5.5 108°. As structural consequence the heights within...

Metal nanotip photoemitters have proven to be versatile in fundamental nanoplasmonics research and applications, including, e.g., the generation of ultrafast electron pulses, adiabatic focusing plasmons, as light-triggered sources for microscopy. Here, we report high energy photoelectrons (up 160 eV) photoemission from single-crystalline nanowire tips few-cycle, 750-nm laser fields at peak intensities (2-7.3) × 1012 W/cm2. Recording carrier-envelope phase (CEP)-dependent allows us identify...

Two conflicting methods reported in the literature [Kratky (1933). Kolloid Z. 64 , 213–222; Leadbetter & Norris (1979). Mol. Phys. 38 669–686] for relationship between axial orientation distributions and equatorial intensity profiles are analyzed.
