Making molecules by mergoassociation: two atoms in adjacent nonspherical optical traps
Robert C. Bird, C. Ruth Le Sueur, Jeremy M. Hutson
Mergoassociation of two ultracold atoms to form a weakly bound molecule can occur when two optical traps that each contain a single atom are merged. Molecule formation occurs at an…
Formation of ultracold molecules by merging optical tweezers
Daniel K. Ruttley, Alexander Guttridge, Stefan Spence +4
We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are in…
Measurement of the binding energy of ultracold RbCs molecules using an offset-free optical frequency comb
Peter K. Molony, Avinash Kumar, Philip D. Gregory +6
We report the binding energy of RbCs molecules in their rovibrational ground state measured using an offset-free optical frequency comb based on difference frequency…
Creation of ultracold RbCs molecules in the rovibrational ground state
Peter K. Molony, Philip D. Gregory, Zhonghua Ji +6
We report the creation of a sample of over 1000 ultracold RbCs molecules in the lowest rovibrational ground state, from an atomic mixture of Rb and Cs, by magnetoasso…
Production of optically trapped RbCs Feshbach molecules
Michael P. Köppinger, Daniel J. McCarron, Daniel L. Jenkin +6
We report the production of RbCs Feshbach molecules in a crossed-beam dipole trap. A mixture of Rb and Cs is cooled close to quantum degeneracy before an inte…
Towards the production of ultracold ground-state RbCs molecules: Feshbach resonances, weakly bound states, and coupled-channel model
Tetsu Takekoshi, Markus Debatin, Raffael Rameshan +8
We have studied interspecies scattering in an ultracold mixture of Rb and Cs atoms, both in their lowest-energy spin states. The three-body loss signatures of 30 inc…
