From: Computational study of terahertz-driven controllable molecular isomerization

Fig. 4

a, b 2D free energy surface (a) and 1D relative energy profiles (b) of the rwSb wrt. the two key dihedral angles φ and ψ are shown in the inset of Fig. 4b inset. c Rotational (ER), vibrational (EV), and translational (ET) kinetic energies of the rwSb with and without the application of a 10.6 THz stimulus. d Relationship between the mean rotational kinetic energy \(\bar{E}\)R and the strength of irradiation under the four key regulation frequencies.
