Making molecules by mergoassociation: two atoms in adjacent nonspherical optical traps
Robert C. Bird, C. Ruth Le Sueur, Jeremy M. Hutson
Mergoassociation of two ultracold atoms to form a weakly bound molecule can occur when two optical traps that each contain a single atom are merged. Molecule formation occurs at an…
An association sequence suitable for producing ground-state RbCs molecules in optical lattices
Arpita Das, Philip D. Gregory, Tetsu Takekoshi +5
We identify a route for the production of RbCs molecules in the rovibronic ground state that is compatible with efficient mixing of the atoms i…
Formation of ultracold molecules by merging optical tweezers
Daniel K. Ruttley, Alexander Guttridge, Stefan Spence +4
We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are in…
Tunable Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold molecules in states with alkali-metal atoms
Robert C. Bird, Michael R. Tarbutt, Jeremy M. Hutson
We consider the magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances that may exist in ultracold mixtures of molecules in states and alkali-metal atoms. We focus on Rb+CaF as a prototype…
