Breaking van der Waals molecules with magnetic fields
arXiv:physics/0505044 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.013201
Abstract
It is demonstrated that weakly bound van der Waals complexes can dissociate in a magnetic field through coupling between the Zeeman levels. The Zeeman predissociation process is shown to be efficient and it can be controlled by external magnetic fields.
