Cold ion-atom chemistry driven by spontaneous radiative relaxation: a case study for the formation of the YbCa^{+} molecular ion

B. Zygelman, Zelimir Lucic, Eric R. Hudson

Using both quantum and semi-classical methods, we calculate the rates for radiative association and charge transfer in cold collisions of Yb+ with Ca.

Comment on "Measurement of a large Chemical Reaction Rate between Ultracold Closed-Shell ^{40}Ca Atoms and Open-Shell ^{174}Yb^{+} Ions Held in a Hybrid Atom-Ion Trap"

B. Zygelman, Robert Hunt

We estimate the radiative quenching rate of the Ca - Yb molecular ion and find that it under-estimates the value reported in recent experiments by about 5 orde…
