Sodium Bose-Einstein Condensates in an Optical Lattice
K. Xu, Y. Liu, J. R. Abo-Shaeer +6
The phase transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator has been observed in a Na Bose-Einstein condensate. A dye laser detuned nm red of the Na S$ \to 3^…
Formation of Quantum-Degenerate Sodium Molecules
K. Xu, T. Mukaiyama, J. R. Abo-Shaeer +3
Ultra-cold sodium molecules were produced from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by ramping an applied magnetic field across a Feshbach resonance. More than molecules were…
Generation of macroscopic pair-correlated atomic beams by four-wave mixing in Bose-Einstein condensates
J. M. Vogels, K. Xu, W. Ketterle
By colliding two Bose-Einstein condensates we have observed strong bosonic stimulation of the elastic scattering process. When a weak input beam was applied as a seed, it was ampli…
Vortex Nucleation in a Stirred Bose-Einstein Condensate
C. Raman, J. R. Abo-Shaeer, J. M. Vogels +2
We studied the nucleation of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate stirred by a laser beam. We observed the vortex cores using time-of-flight absorption imaging. By varying the si…
