Abstract

A full account of the experimental results for the HXeI molecules is given. Focus is also given on the pendular states formed in the combined fields and shown that, in order to observe a strong anisotropy of the H atoms, the HXeI molecules must enter the fields in their rotational ground state. This is corroborated by a calculation of the zero-point motion of the HXeI molecule in the Xen cluster. Finally, an important piece of experimental evidence to prove that the HXeI molecules are indeed oriented is outlined.
