• Abstract: Another manifestation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is introduced to chemistry, in fact to nuclear dynamics and high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. As demonstrated, the overall rotation of a symmetric-top molecule influences the dynamics of an internal vibrational motion in a way that is analogous to the presence of a solenoid carrying magnetic flux. To a good approximation, the low-energy rovibrational energy-level structure of the quasistructural molecular ion H5+ can be understood entirely in terms of this effect.

• The manifestations of 'l-Doubling' in gas-phase rotational dynamics [0.0]
  The 'l-Doubling' phenomenon emanates from the coupling between molecular rotations and perpendicular vibrations (bending modes) in polyatomic molecules. Here we explore and unveil the ramifications of 'l-Doubling' to the coherent rotational dynamics of triatomic molecules at ambient temperatures and above. The observed 'l-Doubling' dynamics may be wrongly considered as collisional decay throughout the first few hundreds of picoseconds past excitation.

The collective and resonance effects of molecular-vibration-polariton formation on the nuclear dynamics are observed in a system of many molecules.

It is revealed that the rotating-wave approximation can profoundly affect the dynamics of the molecules in both strong and weak coupling regimes.

  Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

We consider a surface-immobilized tin(II) phthalocyanine molecule as the molecular system, which is minutely scanned by a plasmonic tip. Our computational approach reveals that unique - non-resonant and resonant - chemical interactions among the tip and the molecule significantly alter the TERS spectra.
