文摘The field-free alignment of molecule Cl CN is investigated by using a terahertz few-cycle pulse(THz FCP)based on the time-dependent density matrix theory.It is shown that a high degree of molecular alignment can be obtained by changing the matching number of the THz FCPs in the adiabatic regime and the non-adiabatic regime.The matching number can affect both the maximum value of the alignment and the time at which it is achieved.It is also found that a higher degree of alignment can be achieved by using the THz FCP at lower intensity and there exists an optimal threshold of molecular alignment with the increase of the field amplitude.Also found is the frequency sensitive region in which the degree of maximum alignment can be enhanced greatly by modulating the center frequencies of different THz FCPs.The investigation demonstrates that comparing with a THz single-cycle pulse,a better result of the field-free alignment can be created by a THz FCP at a constant rotational temperature of molecule.
