Production and spectroscopy of cold radioactive molecules

Chandler J. Conn, Phelan Yu, Madison I. Howard +8

Molecules with heavy, radioactive nuclei promise extreme sensitivity to fundamental nuclear and particle physics. However, these nuclei are available in limited quantities, which c…

Rapid, Broadband, Optical Spectroscopy of Cold Radicals

Ashay N. Patel, Madison I. Howard, Timothy C. Steimle +1

Optical spectroscopy of molecular radicals is an important tool in physical chemistry, and is a prerequisite for many experiments which use molecules for quantum science and precis…

A Molecular Beam Study of the (0,0) A2Π<- X2Σ+ Band of CaF Isotopologues

Termeh Bashiri, Phelan Yu, Nicholas R. Hutzler +3

This study presents an experimental determination of spectroscopic parameters for the less-abundant isotopologues CaF and CaF, alongside CaF, using high-resolu…

Modeling magneto-optical trapping of CaF molecules

M. R. Tarbutt, T. C. Steimle

Magneto-optical trapping forces for molecules are far weaker than for alkali atoms because the photon scattering rate is reduced when there are multiple ground states, and because…

Radiative Branching Ratios for Excited States of YbF: Application to Laser Cooling

I. J. Smallman, F. Wang, T. C. Steimle +2

We excite YbF molecules to low-lying vibrational levels of the state, and of the nearby perturber state sometimes called [18.6]0.5. By dispersing the fluorescence, we…
