Photoassociative Formation of Ultracold Polar KRb Molecules

November 1, 2004
Author(s)
Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We investigate the effectiveness of creating polar ground state KRb molecules by two-color photoassociative spectroscopy. In this process the molecules are formed from ultra-cold samples of K and Rb. Focussing on spin-polarized atoms we show that an

Adiabatic Association of Ultracold Molecules via Magnetic Field Tunable Interactions

September 14, 2004
Author(s)
K Goral, T Koehler, S A. Gardiner, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We consider in detail the situation of applying a time dependent external magnetic field to a 87Rb atomic Bose-Einstein condensate held in a harmonic trap, in order to adiabatically sweep the interatomic interactions across a Feshbach resonance to produce

Four-Wave Mixing in Bose-Einstein Condensate Systems With Multiple Spin States

September 1, 2004
Author(s)
J P. Burke, Paul S. Julienne, Carl J. Williams, Y B. Band, M Trippenbach
We calculate the four-wave mixing (FWM) in a Bose Einstein condensate system having multiple spin wave packets that are initally overlapping in physical space, but have nonvanishing relative momentun that cause them to recede from one another. Three

Making Cold Molecules by Time-Dependent Feshbach Resonances

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga, T Kohler
Pairs of trapped atoms can be associated to make a diatomic molecule using a time dependentMagnetic field to ramp the energy of a scattering resonance state from above to below the scatteringthreshold. A relatively simple model, parameterized in terms of

Beam-Loss Spectroscopy of Cold Collisions in a Bright Sodium Beam

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
J Ramirez-Serrano, W DeGraffenreid, J Weiner, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We report beam loss photoassociation (PA) spectra of cold collisions within a slow, bright Na atom beam near the D1 resonance line. The high collimation and brilliance of the atomic beam permits the detection of atomic fluorescence loss resulting from the

Near-Threshold Photoassociation of 87 Rb 2

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
M Kemmann, R Mistrik, S Nussmann, H Helm, Carl J. Williams, Paul S. Julienne
Photoassociation of cold 87Rb (5s, fb+2) atom pairs is studied within 15 GHz of the dissociation limits 87Rb(5p3/2, fa) + 87Rb(5s, fb =2). Vibrational levels in the long range, hyperfine-manifolds of the 0? and 1g states arising from the 87Rb(5p3/2)-fine

Long-Range Nature of Feshbach Molecules in Bose-Einstein Condensates

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
T K hler, T Gasenzer, Paul S. Julienne, K Burnett
We discuss the long range nature of the molecules produced in recent experiments on molecular Bose-Einstein condensation. The properties of these molecules depend on the full two-body Hamiltonian and not just on the states of the system in the absence of

Potential Energy Surface Database of Group II Dimer Molecules

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne
The purpose of this work is to provide critical atomic and molecular data needed in order to evaluate the feasibility of using laser cooled and trapped Group II atomic species (Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) and Yb for ultra-precise optical clocks or quantum

Ab Initio Calculation of the KRb Dipole Moments

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga
The relativistic configuration interaction valence bond method has been used to calculate permanent and transition electric dipole moments of the KRb heteronuclear molecule as a function of internuclear separation. The permanent dipole moment of the ground

Creation of a Dipolar Superfluid in Optical Lattices

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
B Damski, L Santos, E Tiemann, M Lewenstein, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne, W.H. Zoller
We show that by loading a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of two different atomic species into an optical lattice, it is possible to achieve a Mott-insulator phase with exactly one atom of each species per lattice site. A subsequent photo-association leads

Decay and Revival of Phase Coherence of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in a One-Dimensional Lattice

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
O Morsch, J H. Muller, D Ciampini, M Cristiani, P B. Blakie, Carl J. Williams, Paul S. Julienne, E Arimondo
The mode structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate non-adiabatically loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice is studied by analyzing the visibility of the interference pattern as well as the radial profile of the condensate after a time-of-flight. A

Ultracold Collision Properties of Metastable Alkaline-Earth Atoms

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
A Derevianko, S. G. Porsev, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
Ultra-cold collisions of spin-polarized Mg, Ca, and Sr in the metastable 3P2 excited state are investigated. We show the existence of purely long-range potentials, determine the scattering length, and estimate the collisional loss rate as a function of
