Engineering excited-state interactions at ultracold temperatures
Michael Mills, Prateek Puri, Ming Li +5
Using a recently developed method for precisely controlling collision energy, we observe a dramatic suppression of inelastic collisions between an atom and ion (Ca + Yb) at low…
High-resolution collision energy control through ion position modulation in atom-ion hybrid systems
Prateek Puri, Michael Mills, Elizabeth P. West +2
We demonstrate an ion shuttling technique for high-resolution control of atom-ion collision energy by translating an ion held within a radio-frequency trap through a magneto-optica…
Synthesis of mixed hypermetallic oxide BaOCa from laser-cooled reagents in an atom-ion hybrid trap
Prateek Puri, Michael Mills, Christian Schneider +5
Hypermetallic alkaline earth (M) oxides of formula MOM have been studied under plasma conditions that preclude insight into their formation mechanism. We present here the applicati…
Improved magneto-optical trapping of Ca
Michael Mills, Prateek Puri, Yanmei Yu +3
We investigate the limiting factors in the standard implementation of the Ca magneto-optical trap. We find that intercombination transitions from the 4s5p 1P1 state used to repump…
Blue-sky bifurcation of ion energies and the limits of neutral-gas sympathetic cooling of trapped ions
Steven J. Schowalter, Alexander J. Dunning, Kuang Chen +3
Sympathetic cooling of trapped ions through collisions with neutral buffer gases is critical to a variety of modern scientific fields, including fundamental chemistry, mass spectro…
Radiative lifetime and energy of the low-energy isomeric level in Th
E. V. Tkalya, Christian Schneider, Justin Jeet +1
We estimate the range of the radiative lifetime and energy of the anomalous, low-energy eV) state in the Th nucleus. Our phenomenological calculations a…
