Four-body long-range interactions between ultracold weakly-bound diatomic molecules
Maxence Lepers, Goulven Quéméner, Eliane Luc-Koenig +1
Using the multipolar expansion of electrostatic and magnetostatic potential energies, we characterize the long-range interactions between two weakly-bound diatomic molecules, takin…
Proposal for laser-cooling of rare-earth ions
Maxence Lepers, Ye Hong, Jean-François Wyart +1
The efficiency of laser-cooling relies on the existence of an almost closed optical-transition cycle in the energy spectrum of the considered species. In this respect rare-earth el…
Dynamics of ultracold dipolar particles in a confined geometry and tilted fields
Goulven Quéméner, Maxence Lepers, Olivier Dulieu
We develop a collisional formalism adapted for the dynamics of ultracold dipolar particles in a confined geometry and in fields tilted relative to the confinement axis. Using tesse…
Model for the hyperfine structure of electronically-excited molecules
A. Orbán, R. Vexiau, O. Krieglsteiner +4
A model for determining the hyperfine structure of the excited electronic states of diatomic bialkali heteronuclear molecules is formulated from the atomic hyperfine interactions,…
Theory of long-range ultracold atom-molecule photoassociation
Jesús Pérez-Ríos, Maxence Lepers, Olivier Dulieu
The creation of ultracold molecules is currently limited to diatomic species. In this letter we present a theoretical description of the photoassociation of ultracold atoms and mol…
Ultracold Dipolar Molecules Composed of Strongly Magnetic Atoms
A. Frisch, M. Mark, K. Aikawa +8
In a combined experimental and theoretical effort, we demonstrate a novel type of dipolar system made of ultracold bosonic dipolar molecules with large magnetic dipole moments. Our…
Formation of molecular ions by radiative association of cold trapped atoms and ions
Humberto Da Silva, Maurice Raoult, Mireille Aymar +1
Radiative emission during cold collisions between trapped laser-cooled Rb atoms and alkaline-earth ions (Ca, Sr, Ba) and Yb, and between Li and Yb, are studied…
Long-range interactions between polar bialkali ground-state molecules in arbitrary vibrational levels
R. Vexiau, M. Lepers, M. Aymar +2
We have calculated the isotropic coefficients characterizing the long-range van der Waals interaction between two identical heteronuclear alkali-metal diatomic molecules in…
Theoretical study of radiative electron attachment to CN, C2H, and C4H radicals
Nicolas Douguet, Samantha Fonseca dos Santos, Maurice Raoult +3
A first-principle theoretical approach to study the process of radiative electron attachment is developed and applied to the negative molecular ions CN, CH, and CH$…
Polarizability of ultracold molecules in the rovibrational ground state of
Markus Deiß, Björn Drews, Johannes Hecker Denschlag +3
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the dynamical polarizability of molecules in the rovibrational ground state of . Taking a…
