Abstract: Abstract The terahertz Kerr effect (TKE) of polar molecular vapors is reported. The birefringence signal of fluoroform appears with opposite polarity compared to acetonitrile and water. This behavior is a hallmark of the opposite sign… read more here.

Abstract: The microscopic mechanism for ionic influence on the hydrogen bond network of water has not been fully understood. Here we employ the terahertz Kerr effect (TKE) technique to map the intermolecular hydrogen bond dynamics in… read more here.
