Journal ArticleDOI
Decelerating neutral dipolar molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, it was demonstrated that a beam of neutral dipolar molecules can be efficiently decelerated with a time-varying electric field, achieving a speed of 98 m/s.

TL;DR: The slowing of an adiabatically cooled beam of deuterated ammonia molecules by time-varying inhomogeneous electric fields and subsequent loading into an electrostatic trap is described, illustrating that polar molecules can be efficiently cooled and trapped, thus providing an opportunity to study collisions and collective quantum effects in a wide range of ultra-cold molecular systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manipulation and control of molecular beams.
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that a detailed understanding of the influence of the external field on the energy level structure of the molecules was required for the manipulation of molecules with electric or magnetic fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taming molecular beams
TL;DR: The ability to control the velocity of molecules using time-varying electrical and magnetic fields has led to a renewed interest in molecular beams as discussed by the authors, and the possibilities that this molecular-beam technology offers, ranging from ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy using molecular fountains to novel crossed-beam scattering experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and application of translationally cold molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the deceleration of polar molecules using time-varying electric fields is discussed, and the operation principle of the array of electrodes that is used to decelerate polar molecules is described in analogy with, and using terminology from, charged particle accelerators.
