Effect of a magnetic field on molecule–solvent angular momentum transfer Rzadkowski, Wojciech ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1106-4419 Lemeshko, Mikhail ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6990-7802 Recently it was shown that a molecule rotating in a quantum solvent can be described in terms of the “angulon” quasiparticle [M. Lemeshko, Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 095301 (2017)]. Here we extend the angulon theory to the case of molecules possessing an additional spin-1/2 degree of freedom and study the behavior of the system in the presence of a static magnetic field. We show that exchange of angular momentum between the molecule and the solvent can be altered by the field, even though the solvent itself is non-magnetic. In particular, we demonstrate a possibility to control resonant emission of phonons with a given angular momentum using a magnetic field.
