Dual-isotope narrow-line MOT of dysprosium by phase modulation
M. Dürbeck, L. Reihs, J. Seifert +6
We report on the characterization of a narrow-line magneto-optical trap (MOT), where two different isotopes of the dysprosium (Dy) atom can be simultaneously loaded and trapped. We…
Continuous thermochemical sources of AlF molecules
Pulkit Kukreja, Priyansh Agarwal, Maximilian Doppelbauer +10
The AlF molecule, currently subject to laser cooling and trapping efforts, has the advantage that it can be efficiently produced in a thermochemical reaction between sublimated alu…
Magnetic atoms with a large electric dipole moment
Johannes Seifert, Sid C. Wright, Boris G. Sartakov +2
We experimentally show that an electric dipole moment of more than 1 Debye can be induced in the dysprosium (Dy) atom, in a long-lived state that is about 17513 cm above the…
Optical cycling of AlF molecules
Simon Hofsäss, Maximilian Doppelbauer, Sid Wright +5
Aluminium monofluoride (AlF) is a promising candidate for laser cooling and trapping at high densities. We show efficient production of AlF in a bright, pulsed cryogenic buffer gas…
