An electrostatic beam splitter composed of three charged poles for polar molecules in weak-field-seeking states is proposed. First, the schematic diagram is given. Then we calculate the spatial distribution of the electrical field using the finite element software. We simulate the dynamic process of the loading and splitting polar molecules using the classical Monte Carlo method. We investigate the influences of the longitudinal velocity of the incident molecular beam and the voltages on the performance of our beam splitter. In order to alter the splitting ratio of the molecular beam conveniently, we cut off the two output arms of beam splitter at a certain position. Then we study the influences of the voltages and cutting positions on the splitting ratio. At last, we discuss two methods of keeping the height of guiding center nearly unchanged.

Many molecules exhibit multiple rotational isomers (conformers) that interconvert thermally and are difficult to isolate. Consequently, a precise characterization of their role in chemical reactions has proven challenging. We have probed the reactivity of specific conformers by using an experimental technique based on their spatial separation in a molecular beam by electrostatic deflection. The separated conformers react with a target of Coulomb-crystallized ions in a trap. In the reaction of Ca+ with 3-aminophenol, we find a twofold larger rate constant for the cis compared with the trans conformer (differentiated by the O–H bond orientation). This result is explained by conformer-specific differences in the long-range ion-molecule interaction potentials. Our approach demonstrates the possibility of controlling reactivity through selection of conformational states.

Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is potentially an extremely valuable tool for growing III-V compounds. The value of the technique results partly from the ease with which controlled layers of precisely determined composition can be grown, and partly from the ability that it provides for growing accurately doped layers.
