Abstract: | We investigate the alignment of ethylene and of some of its analogues via short, non-resonant laser pulses and show that it depends crucially on the nuclear spin of the molecules. We calculate the time-dependent alignment factors of the four nuclear spin isomers of ethylene and analyze them by comparison with the symmetric top molecule allene. Moreover, we explore how the nuclear spin selective alignment depends on the asymmetry of the molecules and on the intensity of the laser pulse. As an application, we discuss how nuclear spin selective alignment could be applied in order to separate different isotopomers of ethylene. |
