Coherent collapse of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate for different trap geometries
J Metz, T Lahaye, B Fröhlich +5
We experimentally investigate the collapse dynamics of dipolar Bose- Einstein condensates of chromium atoms in different harmonic trap geometries, from prolate to oblate. The evolu…
A purely dipolar quantum gas
T. Lahaye, J. Metz, T. Koch +3
We report on experiments exploring the physics of dipolar quantum gases using a Chromium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). By means of a Feshbach resonance, it is possible to reduce…
d-wave collapse and explosion of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate
Thierry Lahaye, Jonas Metz, Bernd Froehlich +7
We investigate the collapse dynamics of a dipolar condensate of 52Cr atoms when the s-wave scattering length characterizing the contact interaction is reduced below a critical valu…
Stabilizing a purely dipolar quantum gas against collapse
T. Koch, T. Lahaye, J. Metz +3
We report on the experimental observation of the dipolar collapse of a quantum gas which sets in when we reduce the contact interaction below some critical value using a Feshbach r…
Strong dipolar effects in a quantum ferrofluid
Thierry Lahaye, Tobias Koch, Bernd Froehlich +5
We report on the realization of a Chromium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with strong dipolar interaction. By using a Feshbach resonance, we reduce the usual isotropic contact inte…
