Abstract
Rotational motion lies at the heart of intermolecular, molecule-surface chemistry and coldmolecule science, motivating the development of methods to excite and de-excite rotations.Existing schemes involve perturbing the molecules with photons or electrons which supply orremove energy comparable to t...

Rotational motion lies at the heart of intermolecular, molecule-surface chemistry and coldmolecule science, motivating the development of methods to excite and de-excite rotations.Existing schemes involve perturbing the molecules with photons or electrons which supply orremove energy comparable to the rotational level spacing. Here, we study the possibility ofde-exciting the molecular rotation of a D2 molecule, from J = 2 to the non-rotatingJ = 0 state, without using an energy-matched perturbation. We show that passing the beamthrough a 1 m long magnetic field, which splits the rotational projection states by only10−12 eV, can change the probability that a molecule-surface collision will stop a moleculefrom rotating and lose rotational energy which is 9 orders larger than that of the magneticmanipulation. Calculations confirm that different rotational orientations have different deexcitation probabilities but underestimate rotational flips (ΔmJ≠0), highlighting the importance of the results as a sensitive benchmark for further developing theoretical models ofmolecule-surface interactions. |
