Continuous probing of cold complex molecules with infrared frequency comb spectroscopy [PDF]
Cavity-enhanced frequency comb spectroscopy for molecule detection in the mid-infrared powerfully combines high resolution, high sensitivity, and broad spectral coverage. However, this technique, and essentially all spectroscopic methods, is limited in application to relatively small, simple molecules.

Impact of crowded environments on binding between protein and single-stranded DNA
The concept of Molecular Crowding depicts the high density of diverse molecules present in the cellular interior. Here, we determine the impact of low molecular weight and larger molecules on binding capacity of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to the cold ...

Infrared Comb Spectroscopy of Buffer-Gas-Cooled Molecules: Toward Absolute Frequency Metrology of Cold Acetylene [PDF]
We review the recent developments in precision ro-vibrational spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled neutral molecules, obtained using infrared frequency combs either as direct probe sources or as ultra-accurate optical rulers. In particular, we show how coherent broadband spectroscopy of complex molecules especially benefits from drastic simplification of ...

Spectroscopy of Cold LiCa Molecules Formed on Helium Nanodroplets
We report on the formation of mixed alkali-alkaline earth molecules (LiCa) on helium nanodroplets and present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the ground and excited states of LiCa. Resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization time-of-flight (REMPI-TOF) spectroscopy and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy were used for the ...

Cold collision and high-resolution spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled BaF molecules [PDF]
We reported a detailed experimental study of the cold collision of Barium monofluoride (BaF) with buffer gas and the high-resolution spectroscopy relevant with direct laser cooling. BaF molecules are efficiently produced with laser ablation and buffer-gas cooled in a cryogenic apparatus.

LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF X-RAY PHOTOLYSIS OF METHANOL ICE AND ITS IMPLICATION ON ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
Methanol (CH3OH) is one of the most abundant organic molecules in astrophysical environments. It has been found in cold regions such as surfaces of comets, ices near young stellar objects and protoplanetary disks, as well as in the gas phase in different
