A comprehensive analysis of the spectrum of Fe II

October 28, 2010
Author(s)
Gillian Nave
A new analysis of the laboratory spectrum of Fe II is described. The aim is to produce a comprehensive list of Fe II lines, based on high-resolution grating and Fourier transform spectra, covering wavelengths from 900 ̊A to 5.5 μm. Particular attention has

Atomic Spectroscopic Databases at NIST

October 28, 2010
Author(s)
Joseph Reader, Alexander Kramida, Yuri Ralchenko
We present recent work at NIST to develop and maintain databases for spectra, transition probabilities, and energy levels of atoms that are astrophysically important. We also describe our programs to critically compile these data as well as the recently

Towards More Accurate Atomic Oscillator Strengths

October 28, 2010
Author(s)
Wolfgang L. Wiese, Jeffrey R. Fuhr, John M. Bridges
Accurate determinations of atomic oscillator strengths have been a problem for a long time, and discrepancies between various numerical results have been substantial. But in recent years considerable progress has been made, especially for weak lines

Revised interpretation of the Na I EUV absorption spectrum

September 27, 2010
Author(s)
Alexander Kramida
Spectral data for neutral sodium were recently compiled by Sansonetti (2008 J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 37 1659). In that compilation, some of the energy levels of the 2p53snl configurations were quoted from the studies of the absorption spectrum in the

yocto-Newton force detection sensitivity using trapped ions

August 22, 2010
Author(s)
Michael J. Biercuk, Joseph W. Britton, Hermann Uys, Aaron Vandevender, John Bollinger
Recent experimental advances have shown that it is possible to detect forces arising from electric fields at a level of aN/ √Hz (atto = 10 -18 through coupling of micro or nanofabricated mechanical resonators to a variety of physical systems including

Coherent spin manipulation in an exchange-only qubit

August 4, 2010
Author(s)
E. A. Laird, Jacob Taylor, David P. DiVincenzo, C. M. Marcus, M. P. Hanson, A. C. Gossard
Initialization, manipulation and measurement of a three-spin qubit are demonstrated using a few- electron triple quantum dot, where all operations can be driven by tuning the exchange interaction. Multiplexed reflectometry, applied to two nearby charge

Resolved sideband emission from dynamically strained quantum dots

July 16, 2010
Author(s)
Michael Metcalfe, Stephen M. Carr, Andreas Muller, Glenn S. Solomon, John R. Lawall
The dynamic response of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) to strain is studied by periodically modulating the QDs with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) and measuring the QD fluorescence with both photoluminescence and resonant spectroscopy. When the

Ultrahigh finesse low mode volume Fabry-Perot microcavity

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Andreas Muller, Edward B. Flagg, John R. Lawall, Glenn S. Solomon
Ultralow loss concave micromirrors with radii of curvature below 60 um were fabricated by laser ablation and reflective coatings. A 10 um long microcavity with a mode volume of 40 um^3 was set up with two such mirrors and the cavity linewidth measured both

Towards a compact cold atom frequency standard based on coherent populatoin trapping

June 2, 2010
Author(s)
Francois-Xavier R. Esnault, Elizabeth Donley, John Kitching
We describe in this paper the main features of a cold atom CPT based frequency standard. We explain our particular CPT configuration and our experimental setup. as well as present simulations of the expected performance (stability and major systematics)

Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases

April 29, 2010
Author(s)
Chin P. Cheng, R Grimm, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga
Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in ultracold quantum gases. They have found manifold experimental applications, opening up the way to important breakthroughs. This Review gives a broad coverage of the
