Synthetic Lorentz force in classical atomic gases via Doppler effect and radiation pressure
arXiv:1402.7251 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.89.063415
Abstract
We theoretically predict a novel type of synthetic Lorentz force for classical (cold) atomic gases, which is based on the Doppler effect and radiation pressure. A fairly uniform and strong force can be constructed for gases in macroscopic volumes of several cubic millimeters and more. This opens the possibility to mimic classical charged gases in magnetic fields, such as those in a tokamak, in cold atom experiments.
