  bibo_abstract:
  - Iodine (I 2  ) molecules embedded in He nanodroplets are aligned by a 160 ps long
    laser pulse. The highest degree of alignment, occurring at the peak of the pulse
    and quantified by ⟨cos 2 θ 2D ⟩ , is measured as a function of the laser intensity.
    The results are well described by ⟨cos 2 θ 2D ⟩  calculated for a gas of isolated
    molecules each with an effective rotational constant of 0.6 times the gas-phase
    value, and at a temperature of 0.4 K. Theoretical analysis using the angulon quasiparticle
    to describe rotating molecules in superfluid helium rationalizes why the alignment
    mechanism is similar to that of isolated molecules with an effective rotational
    constant. A major advantage of molecules in He droplets is that their 0.4 K temperature
    leads to stronger alignment than what can generally be achieved for gas phase
    molecules -- here demonstrated by a direct comparison of the droplet results to
    measurements on a ∼  1 K supersonic beam of isolated molecules. This point is
    further illustrated for more complex system by measurements on 1,4-diiodobenzene
    and 1,4-dibromobenzene. For all three molecular species studied the highest values
    of ⟨cos 2 θ 2D ⟩  achieved in He droplets exceed 0.96. @eng
