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…
Ion-neutral chemistry at ultralow energies: Dynamics of reactive collisions between laser-cooled Ca^+ ions and Rb atoms in an ion-atom hybrid trap
Felix H. J. Hall, Pascal Eberle, Gregor Hegi +4
Cold chemical reactions between laser-cooled Ca^+ ions and Rb atoms were studied in an ion-atom hybrid trap. Reaction rate constants were determined in the range of collision energ…
Light-Assisted Cold Chemical Reactions of Barium Ions with Rubidium Atoms
Felix H. J. Hall, Mireille Aymar, Maurice Raoult +2
Light-assisted reactive collisions between laser-cooled Ba+ ions and Rb atoms were studied in an ion-atom hybrid trap. The reaction rate was found to strongly depend on the electro…
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…
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…
