  bibo_abstract:
  - We demonstrate that a sodium dimer, Na2(13Σ+u), residing on the surface of a helium
    nanodroplet, can be set into rotation by a nonresonant 1.0 ps infrared laser pulse.
    The time-dependent degree of alignment measured, exhibits a periodic, gradually
    decreasing structure that deviates qualitatively from that expected for gas-phase
    dimers. Comparison to alignment dynamics calculated from the time-dependent rotational
    Schrödinger equation shows that the deviation is due to the alignment dependent
    interaction between the dimer and the droplet surface. This interaction confines
    the dimer to the tangential plane of the droplet surface at the point where it
    resides and is the reason that the observed alignment dynamics is also well described
    by a 2D quantum rotor model.@eng
