Radio-frequency induced ground state degeneracy in a Chromium Bose-Einstein condensate
Q. Beaufils, T. Zanon, R. Chicireanu +5
We study the effect of strong radio-frequency (rf) fields on a chromium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in a regime where the rf frequency is much larger than the Larmor frequency.…
Averaging out magnetic forces with fast rf-sweeps in an optical trap for metastable chromium atoms
Q. Beaufils, R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous +6
We introduce a novel type of time-averaged trap, in which the internal state of the atoms is rapidly modulated to modify magnetic trapping potentials. In our experiment, fast radio…
Simultaneous Magneto-Optical Trapping of Bosonic and Fermionic Chromium Atoms
R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous, R. Barbe +5
We report on magneto-optical trapping of fermionic 53Cr atoms. A Zeeman-slowed atomic beam provides loading rates up to 3 10^6 /s. We present systematic characterization of the mag…
