Simulated Laser Cooling and Magneto-Optical Trapping of Group IV Atoms

Geoffrey Zheng, Jianwei Wang, Mohit Verma +3

We present a scheme for laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of the Group IV (a.k.a. Group 14 or tetrel) atoms silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These el…
