Abstract External fields have been widely adopted to control and manipulate the properties of gas-phase molecular species. In particular, electric fields have been shown to focus, filter and decelerate beams of polar molecules. While there are several well-established approaches for controlling the velocity and quantum-state distribution of reactant molecules, very few of these methods have examined the orientation of molecules in the resulting beam. Here we show that a buffer gas cell and three-bend electrostatic guide (coupled to a time-of-flight set-up) can be configured such that 70% of ammonia molecules in the cold molecular beam are oriented to an external electric field at the point of detection. With a minor alteratio...
