Diatomic molecular anions of alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms

Sana Akkari, Hela Ladjimi, Wissem Zrafi +3

Studies of anions are inherently more challenging than investigations of neutrals and cations because of the diffuse and weakly bound character of an anionic electron. Here, we pre…

Hyperfine-to-rotational energy transfer in ultracold atom-molecule collisions

Yi-Xiang Liu, Lingbang Zhu, Jeshurun Luke +7

Energy transfer between different mechanical degrees of freedom in atom-molecule collisions has been widely studied and largely understood. However, systems involving spins remain…

Chemical reactions of ultracold alkaline-earth-metal diatomic molecules

Hela Ladjimi, Michał Tomza

We study the energetics of chemical reactions between ultracold ground-state alkaline-earth-metal diatomic molecules. We show that the atom-exchange reactions forming homonuclear d…

Diatomic molecules of alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms: interaction potentials, dipole moments, and polarizabilities

Hela Ladjimi, Michał Tomza

Ultracold diatomic molecules find application in quantum studies ranging from controlled chemistry and precision measurement physics to quantum many-body simulation and potentially…

Ab initio electronic structure and prospects for the formation of ultracold calcium--alkali-metal-atom molecular ions

Wissem Zrafi, Hela Ladjimi, Halima Said +2

Experiments with cold ion-atom mixtures have recently opened the way for the production and application of ultracold molecular ions. Here, in a comparative study, we theoretically…

Spectroscopic properties of the molecular ions BeX^+ (X=Na, K, Rb): Forming cold molecular ions from an ion-atom mixture by stimulated Raman adiabatic process

Hela Ladjimi, Dibyendu Sardar, Mohamed Farjallah +5

In this theoretical work, we calculate potential energy curves, spectroscopic pa- rameters and transition dipole moments of molecular ions BeX^+ (X=Na, K, Rb) composed of alkaline…
