text: Rotational dynamics of D2 molecules inside helium nanodroplets is induced
by a moderately intense femtosecond pump pulse and measured as a function of time
by recording the yield of HeD+ ions, created through strong-field dissociative
ionization with a delayed femtosecond probe pulse. The yield oscillates with a
period of 185 fs, reflecting field-free rotational wave packet dynamics, and the
oscillation persists for more than 500 periods. Within the experimental uncertainty,
the rotational constant BHe of the in-droplet D2 molecule, determined by Fourier
analysis, is the same as Bgas for an isolated D2 molecule. Our observations show
that the D2 molecules inside helium nanodroplets essentially rotate as free D2
molecules.

text: Recently it became possible to study highly excited rotational states of molecules
in superfluid helium through nonadiabatic alignment experiments (Cherepanov et
al 2021 Phys. Rev. A 104 L061303). This calls for theoretical approaches that
go beyond explaining renormalized values of molecular spectroscopic constants,
which suffices when only the lowest few rotational states are involved. As the
first step in this direction, here we present a basic quantum mechanical model
describing highly excited rotational states of molecules in superfluid helium
nanodroplets. We show that a linear molecule immersed in a superfluid can be seen
as an effective symmetric top, similar to the rotational structure of radicals,
such as OH or NO, but with the angular momentum of the superfluid playing the
role of the electronic angular momentum in free molecules. The simple theory sheds
light onto what happens when the rotational angular momentum of the molecule increases
beyond the lowest excited states accessible by infrared spectroscopy. In addition,
the model allows to estimate the effective rotational and centrifugal distortion
constants for a broad range of species and to explain the crossover between light
and heavy molecules in superfluid 4He in terms of the many-body wavefunction structure.
Some of the above mentioned insights can be acquired by analyzing a simple 2 ×
2 matrix.

text: We combine experimental and theoretical approaches to explore excited rotational
states of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets using CS2 and I2 as examples.
Laser-induced nonadiabatic molecular alignment is employed to measure spectral
lines for rotational states extending beyond those initially populated at the
0.37 K droplet temperature. We construct a simple quantum-mechanical model, based
on a linear rotor coupled to a single-mode bosonic bath, to determine the rotational
energy structure in its entirety. The calculated and measured spectral lines are
in good agreement. We show that the effect of the surrounding superfluid on molecular
rotation can be rationalized by a single quantity, the angular momentum, transferred
from the molecule to the droplet.

text: "Alignment of OCS, CS2, and I2 molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets is
measured as a function\r\nof time following rotational excitation by a nonresonant,
comparatively weak ps laser pulse. The distinct\r\npeaks in the power spectra,
obtained by Fourier analysis, are used to determine the rotational, B, and\r\ncentrifugal
distortion, D, constants. For OCS, B and D match the values known from IR spectroscopy.
For\r\nCS2 and I2, they are the first experimental results reported. The alignment
dynamics calculated from the\r\ngas-phase rotational Schrödinger equation, using
the experimental in-droplet B and D values, agree in\r\ndetail with the measurement
for all three molecules. The rotational spectroscopy technique for molecules in\r\nhelium
droplets introduced here should apply to a range of molecules and complexes."

text: The formation of vortices is usually considered to be the main mechanism of
angular momentum disposal in superfluids. Recently, it was predicted that a superfluid
can acquire angular momentum via an alternative, microscopic route -- namely,
through interaction with rotating impurities, forming so-called `angulon quasiparticles'
[Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 203001 (2015)]. The angulon instabilities correspond to
transfer of a small number of angular momentum quanta from the impurity to the
superfluid, as opposed to vortex instabilities, where angular momentum is quantized
in units of ℏ per atom. Furthermore, since conventional impurities (such as molecules)
represent three-dimensional (3D) rotors, the angular momentum transferred is intrinsically
3D as well, as opposed to a merely planar rotation which is inherent to vortices.
Herein we show that the angulon theory can explain the anomalous broadening of
the spectroscopic lines observed for CH 3 and NH 3 molecules in superfluid
helium nanodroplets, thereby providing a fingerprint of the emerging angulon instabilities
in experiment.
