Feshbach resonances in 3He*-4He* mixtures
arXiv:1008.1141 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.042713
Abstract
We discuss the stability of homonuclear and heteronuclear mixtures of 3He and 4He atoms in the metastable 2^3S_1 state (He*) and predict positions and widths of Feshbach resonances by using the Asymptotic Bound-state Model (ABM). All calculations are performed without fit parameters, using \emph{ab-initio} calculations of molecular potentials. One promising very broad Feshbach resonance (ΔB=72.9^{+18.3}_{-19.3} mT) is found that allows for tuning of the inter-isotope scattering length.
