Diatomic molecular anions of alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal atoms
Sana Akkari, Hela Ladjimi, Wissem Zrafi +3
Studies of anions are inherently more challenging than investigations of neutrals and cations because of the diffuse and weakly bound character of an anionic electron. Here, we pre…
Charge Exchange Dynamics in Cold Collisions of CaH and K
Swapnil Patel, Dibyendu Sardar, Jyothi Saraladevi +2
We report the observation of charge-exchange collisions between trapped calcium monohydride molecular ions (CaH) and ultracold potassium atoms (K) in a hybrid ion…
Optical excitation and stabilization of ultracold field-linked tetratomic molecules
Bijit Mukherjee, MichaÅ Tomza
We propose a coherent optical population transfer of weakly bound field-linked (FL) tetratomic molecules (tetramers) to deeper FL bound states using stimulated Raman adiabatic pass…
CaF+CaF interactions in the ground and excited electronic states: implications for collisional losses
Dibyendu Sardar, Marcin Gronowski, MichaÅ Tomza +1
Accurate \textit{ab initio} potential energy surfaces are essential to understand and predict collisional outcomes in ultracold molecular systems. In this study, we explore the int…
