Formation of ultracold metastable Rb2 molecules in their v"=0 level by blue-detuned photoassociation
M. A. Bellos, D. Rahmlow, R. Carollo +6
We report on the observation of blue-detuned photoassociation in Rb2, in which vibrational levels are energetically above the corresponding excited atomic asymptote. 85Rb atoms in…
Formation of the simplest stable negative molecular ion H3- in interstellar medium
V. Kokoouline, M. Ayouz, R. Guerout +3
We present the theory of radiative association of atoms and molecules, and we apply it to the (H-H) van der Waals complex. We discuss the possibility for the H ion to…
Systematic trends in electronic properties of alkali hydrides
Mireille Aymar, Johannes Deiglmayr, Olivier Dulieu
Obtaining ultracold samples of dipolar molecules is a current challenge which requires an accurate knowledge of their electronic properties to guide the ongoing experiments. Alkali…
Efficient formation of deeply bound ultracold molecules probed by broadband detection
Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia, Maria Allegrini +4
Using a non-selective broadband detection scheme we discovered an efficient mechanism of formation of ultracold Cs molecules in deeply bound levels () of their electroni…
Calculations of static dipole polarizabilities of alkali dimers. Prospects for alignment of ultracold molecules
Johannes Deiglmayr, Mireille Aymar, Roland Wester +2
The rapid development of experimental techniques to produce ultracold alkali molecules opens the ways to manipulate them and to control their dynamics using external electric field…
Optical pumping and vibrational cooling of molecules
Matthieu Viteau, Amodsen Chotia, Maria Allegrini +4
The methods producing cold molecules from cold atoms tend to leave molecular ensembles with substantial residual internal energy. For instance, Cs2 molecules initially formed via p…
