Magneto-Optical Trap for Polar Molecules
Benjamin K. Stuhl, Brian C. Sawyer, Dajun Wang +1
We propose a method for laser cooling and trapping a substantial class of polar molecules, and in particular titanium (II) oxide (TiO). This method uses pulsed electric fields to n…
Low-energy molecular collisions in a permanent magnetic trap
Brian C. Sawyer, Benjamin K. Stuhl, Dajun Wang +2
Cold, neutral hydroxyl radicals are Stark decelerated and confined within a magnetic trap consisting of two permanent ring magnets. The OH molecules are trapped in the ro-vibration…
Mitigation of loss within a molecular Stark decelerator
Brian C. Sawyer, Benjamin K. Stuhl, Benjamin L. Lev +2
The transverse motion inside a Stark decelerator plays a large role in the total efficiency of deceleration. We differentiate between two separate regimes of molecule loss during t…
Magneto-electrostatic trapping of ground state OH molecules
Brian C. Sawyer, Benjamin L. Lev, Eric R. Hudson +4
We report the magnetic confinement of neutral, ground state hydroxyl radicals (OH) at a density of cm and temperature of 30 mK. An adjustable elect…
