✦ Synopsis

With the aid of an addition theorem of spherical harmonics, the transformations between the angular basis functions of photofragments in the atom-diatom collisional coordinates and the rotational wavefunctions of parent molecules in Euler angles are found. These transformation relations are employed to treat the photofragmentation of linear triatomic molecules quantum mechanically. In a direct photodissociation process, the rotational and orbital angular momentum distributions of photofragments as a function of the rotational and the bending-vibrational quantum numbers of parent molecules are derived.

The angular distribution of desorbed neutral and ionized polyalanine molecules, initially embedded in a matrix of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, has been measured for the first time. The target was irradiated with a pulsed ultraviolet laser beam (355 nm) incident at an angle of 26 °with respect to the t
