Excitation of weakly-bound molecules to trilobite-like Rydberg states
M. A. Bellos, R. Carollo, J. Banerjee +3
We observe "trilobite-like" states of ultracold 85Rb2 molecules, in which a ground-state atom is bound by the electronic wavefunction of its Rydberg-atom partner. We populate these…
Spectroscopy of the Double Minimum Electronic State of KRb
Jayita Banerjee, David Rahmlow, Ryan Carollo +4
We report the observation and analysis of the double-minimum electronic excited state of KRb. The spin-orbit components ( and 2) of this s…
Upper Bound to the Ionization Energy of 85Rb2
M. A. Bellos, R. Carollo, J. Banerjee +5
We report an upper bound to the ionization energy of 85Rb2 of 31348.0(6) cm-1, which also provides a lower bound to the dissociation energy D0 of 85Rb2+ of 6307.5(6) cm-1. These bo…
Observation and Analysis of Resonant Coupling Between Near-Degenerate Levels of the 2 1Σg+ and 1 1 Πg States of Ultracold 85Rb2
R. Carollo, M. A. Bellos, D. Rahmlow +4
We report on the anomalously high line strength of a single rotational level in the ultracold photoassociation of two 85Rb atoms to form 85Rb2. The v' = 111, J' = 5 level belongs t…
Direct Photoassociative Formation of Ultracold KRb Molecules in the Lowest Vibrational Levels of the Ground State
Jayita Banerjee, David Rahmlow, Ryan Carollo +4
We report continuous direct photoassociative formation of ultracold KRb molecules in the lowest vibrational levels of the electronic ground state , starting…
Photoassociation to the 2(1)Sigma(g)(+) state in ultracold 85Rb2 in the presence of a shape resonance
M. A. Bellos, R. Carollo, D. Rahmlow +4
We report the first observation of photoassociation to the 2(1)Sigma(g)(+) state of 85Rb2 . We have observed two vibrational levels (v'=98, 99) below the 5s1/2+5p1/2 atomic limit a…
Formation of ultracold metastable Rb2 molecules in their v"=0 level by blue-detuned photoassociation
M. A. Bellos, D. Rahmlow, R. Carollo +6
We report on the observation of blue-detuned photoassociation in Rb2, in which vibrational levels are energetically above the corresponding excited atomic asymptote. 85Rb atoms in…
Resonant Coupling in the Heteronuclear Alkali Dimers for Direct Photoassociative Formation of X(0,0) Ultracold Molecules
W. C. Stwalley, J. RayMajumder, M. Bellos +3
Promising pathways for photoassociative formation of ultracold heteronuclear alkali metal dimers in their lowest rovibronic levels (denoted X(0,0)) are examined using high quality…
