Magnetic atoms with a large electric dipole moment
Johannes Seifert, Sid C. Wright, Boris G. Sartakov +2
We experimentally show that an electric dipole moment of more than 1 Debye can be induced in the dysprosium (Dy) atom, in a long-lived state that is about 17513 cm above the…

Continuous thermochemical sources of AlF molecules
Pulkit Kukreja, Priyansh Agarwal, Maximilian Doppelbauer +10
The AlF molecule, currently subject to laser cooling and trapping efforts, has the advantage that it can be efficiently produced in a thermochemical reaction between sublimated alu…

Magneto-optical trapping of aluminum monofluoride
J. E. Padilla-Castillo, J. Cai, P. Agarwal +6
Magneto-optical trapping of molecules has thus far been restricted to molecules with electronic ground states. These species are chemically reactive and only support a simpl…
