Zusammenfassung:
Superfluid helium nanodroplets have in the last 25 years opened up a new era of high resolution spectroscopy. This has been made possible by their sub-Kelvin temperatures and the gentle nature of the superfluid. As a matrix for spectroscopy, helium droplets have provided a new perspective on the physics and chemistry of atoms, molecules, both inorganic and organic, and even large biomolecules, also in the form of clusters and large aggregates. New information has also been obtained on the reactions and structures of radicals and ions. Moreover, much has also been revealed about the photon-excitation dynamics of molecules. At the same time, the molecular spectra have provided new insight into the microscopic many-body coherent quantum physics of the helium superfluid. For example, the very first evidence that small finite-sized objects with even less than 100 helium atoms can be superfluid comes from this new spectroscopy.
