Radio frequency field-induced electron mobility in an ultracold plasma state of arrested relaxation

R. Wang, M. Aghigh, K. L. Marroquín +5

Penning ionization releases electrons in a state-selected Rydberg gas of nitric oxide entrained in a supersonic molecular beam. Subsequent processes of electron impact avalanche, b…

mm-wave Rydberg-Rydberg resonances as a witness of intermolecular coupling in the arrested relaxation of a molecular ultracold plasma

R. Wang, J. Sous, M. Aghigh +5

Out-of-equilibrium, strong correlation in a many-body system triggers emergent properties that can act in important ways to constrain the natural dissipation of energy and matter.…

Dissipative dynamics of atomic and molecular Rydberg gases: Avalanche to ultracold plasma states of strong coupling

M. Aghigh, K. Grant, R. Haenel +8

Not long after metastable xenon was photoionized in a magneto-optical trap, groups in Europe and North America found that similar states of ionized gas evolved spontaneously from s…

Control of molecular ultracold plasma relaxation dynamics by mm-wave Rydberg-Rydberg transitions

Fernanda Banic Viana Martins, James S. Keller, Edward R. Grant

Resonant mm-wave fields drive transitions in a state-selected Rydberg gas of NO. This transformation produces a clear signature in t…

Evolution from a molecular Rydberg gas to an ultracold plasma in a seeded supersonic expansion of NO

J. P. Morrison, C. J. Rennick, J. S. Keller +1

We report the spontaneous formation of a plasma from a gas of cold Rydberg molecules. Double-resonant laser excitation promotes nitric oxide, cooled to 1 K in a seeded supersonic m…
