A Strongly Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensate of Dysprosium

Mingwu Lu, Nathaniel Q. Burdick, Seo Ho Youn +1

We report the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the most magnetic atom, dysprosium. The Dy BEC is the first for an open f-shell lanthanide (rare-earth) element and is produced vi…

Spectroscopy of a narrow-line laser cooling transition in atomic dysprosium

Mingwu Lu, Seo Ho Youn, Benjamin L. Lev

The laser cooling and trapping of ultracold neutral dysprosium has been recently demonstrated using the broad, open 421-nm cycling transition. Narrow-line magneto-optical trapping…

Dysprosium magneto-optical traps

Seo Ho Youn, Mingwu Lu, Ushnish Ray +1

Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) of highly magnetic lanthanides open the door to explorations of novel phases of strongly correlated matter such as lattice supersolids and quantum liqu…

Anisotropic sub-Doppler laser cooling in dysprosium magneto-optical traps

Seo Ho Youn, Mingwu Lu, Benjamin L. Lev

Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) of Er and Dy have recently been shown to exhibit population-wide sub-Doppler cooling due to their near degeneracy of excited and ground state Lande g f…

Trapping ultracold dysprosium: a highly magnetic gas for dipolar physics

Mingwu Lu, Seo Ho Youn, Benjamin L. Lev

Ultracold dysprosium gases, with a magnetic moment ten times that of alkali atoms and equal only to terbium as the most magnetic atom, are expected to exhibit a multitude of fascin…

The falling chain of Hopkins, Tait, Steele and Cayley

Chun Wa Wong, Seo Ho Youn, Kosuke Yasui

A uniform, flexible and frictionless chain falling link by link from a heap by the edge of a table falls with an acceleration if the motion is nonconservative, but if t…
