Manipulating the motion of large neutral molecules

Abstract

Large molecules have complex potential-energy surfaces with many local minima. They exhibit multiple stereo-isomers, even at very low temperatures. In this paper we discuss the different approaches for the manipulation of the motion of large and complex molecules, like amino acids or peptides, and the prospects of state- and conformer-selected, focused, and slow beams of such molecules for studying their molecular properties and for fundamental physics studies.
