Making two dysprosium atoms rotate - Einstein-de Haas effect revisited
arXiv:1609.00194 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/116/26004
Abstract
We present a numerical study of the behaviour of two magnetic dipolar atoms trapped in a harmonic potential and exhibiting the standard Einstein-de Haas effect while subject to a time dependent homogeneous magnetic field. Using a simplified description of the short range interaction and the full expression for the dipole-dipole forces we show, that under experimentally realisable conditions two dysprosium atoms may be pumped to a high () value of the relative orbital angular momentum.
