Predissociation dynamics of charged long-range Rydberg molecules

Neethu Abraham, P. Giannakeas, Matthew T. Eiles

We investigate predissociation in homonuclear (${}^{87}$Rb${}^{\ast }$${}^{87}$Rb${}^{+}$) and heteronuclear (${}^{87}$Rb${}^{\ast }$${}^7$Li${}^{+}$) long-range Rydberg atom-ion molecules. Owing to their micro…
