Two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical surface trap
D. Rychtarik, B. Engeser, H. -C. Nägerl +1
We report on the creation of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms in a gravito-optical surface trap. The condensate is produced a few micrometer above a diele…

Evanescent-wave trapping and evaporative cooling of an atomic gas near two-dimensionality
M. Hammes, D. Rychtarik, B. Engeser +2
A dense gas of cesium atoms at the crossover to two-dimensionality is prepared in a highly anisotropic surface trap that is realized with two evanescent light waves. Temperatures a…

Evaporative cooling of cesium atoms in the gravito-optical surface trap
M. Hammes, D. Rychtarik, R. Grimm
We report on cooling of an atomic cesium gas closely above an evanescent-wave. Our first evaporation experiments show a temperature reduction from 10muK down to 300nK along with a…
