Abstract

Simulated circularly-polarized 10 femtosecond laser pulses that induce a mixture of excited states are applied to ethane. Additionally, the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) angle ϕ, that quantifies the relationship between the time-varying direction of electric (E)-field and the amplitude envelope was used to manipulate the mechanical and chiral properties of ethane using Next Generation Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (NG-QTAIM). The chirality assignments were reversed from S to R as the CEP angle ϕ was increased from ϕ = 0.0° to ϕ = 180°. A one-to-one mapping between the CEP angle ϕ and NGQTAIM trajectories was discovered.
