Prospects for sympathetic cooling of molecules in electrostatic, ac and microwave traps
S. K. Tokunaga, Wojciech Skomorowski, Piotr S. Żuchowski +4
We consider how trapped molecules can be sympathetically cooled by ultracold atoms. As a prototypical system, we study LiH molecules co-trapped with ultracold Li atoms. We calculat…
The prospects of sympathetic cooling of NH molecules with Li atoms
Alisdair O. G. Wallis, Edward J. J. Longdon, Piotr S. Żuchowski +1
We calculate the quartet potential energy surface for Li+NH and use it to calculate elastic and spin-relaxation cross sections for collisions in magnetically trappable spin-stretch…
Ultracold RbSr molecules can be formed by magnetoassociation
Piotr S. Zuchowski, J. Aldegunde, Jeremy M. Hutson
We investigate the interactions between ultracold alkali metal atoms and closed-shell atoms using electronic structure calculations on the prototype system Rb+Sr. There are molecul…
Reactions of ultracold alkali metal dimers
Piotr S. Zuchowski, Jeremy M. Hutson
We investigate the energetics of reactions involving pairs of alkali metal dimers. Atom exchange reactions to form homonuclear dimers are energetically allowed for some but not all…
