Formation of ultracold RbCs molecules by photoassociation
N. Bouloufa-Maafa, M. Aymar, O. Dulieu +1
The formation of ultracold metastable RbCs molecules is observed in a double species magneto-optical trap through photoassociation below the ^85Rb(5S_1/2)+^133Cs(6P_3/2) dissociati…
Photoassociative creation of ultracold heteronuclear 6Li40K* molecules
Armin Ridinger, Saptarishi Chaudhuri, Thomas Salez +5
We investigate the formation of weakly bound, electronically excited, heteronuclear 6Li40K* molecules by single-photon photoassociation in a magneto-optical trap. We performed trap…
Light-assisted ion-neutral reactive processes in the cold regime: radiative molecule formation vs. charge exchange
Felix H. J. Hall, Mireille Aymar, Nadia Bouloufa-Maafa +2
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of cold reactive collisions between laser-cooled Ca+ ions and Rb atoms in an ion-atom hybrid trap. We observe rich chemical…
Population redistribution in optically trapped polar molecules
J. Deiglmayr, M. Repp, O. Dulieu +2
We investigate the rovibrational population redistribution of polar molecules in the electronic ground state induced by spontaneous emission and blackbody radiation. As a model sys…
Formation of ultracold metastable RbCs molecules by short-range photoassociation
C. Gabbanini, O. Dulieu
Ultracold metastable RbCs molecules are observed in a double species MOT through photoassociation near the Rb(5S)+Cs(6P) dissociation limit followed by radiative st…
Long-range interactions between ultracold atoms and molecules including atomic spin-orbit
Maxence Lepers, Olivier Dulieu
We investigate theoretically the long-range electrostatic interactions between a ground-state homonuclear alkali-metal dimer and an excited alkali-metal atom taking into account it…
