Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) in ion yield in the gas phase is a promising chiral recognition technique. Combining it with broadband ultrafast laser pulses allows us to examine the possibility of coherent control. We used shaped femtosecond laser pulses to control the CD in ion yield of 3-methylcyclopentanone observed from a 1+1+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation around 309 nm. The duration of the pulses is increased via their spectral width or a frequency chirp, and a pulse pair with adjustable delay is employed to study the effect on the CD in ion yield. Furthermore, we used strongly chirped pulses of different central wavelengths to control the observed anisotropy. A clear enhancement of the anisotropy can be achieved, and possible mechanisms are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
