Interspecies thermalization in an ultracold mixture of Cs and Yb in an optical trap
A. Guttridge, S. A. Hopkins, S. L. Kemp +3
We present measurements of interspecies thermalization between ultracold samples of Cs and either Yb or Yb. The two species are trapped in a far-off-resonan…

A versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for caesium and ytterbium
S. A. Hopkins, K. Butler, R. Freytag +5
We describe the design, construction and operation of a versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for both Cs and Yb, which is easily adaptable for use with other alkali metals and alka…

Direct loading of a large Yb MOT on the transition
A Guttridge, S A Hopkins, S L Kemp +6
We report a robust technique for laser frequency stabilisation that enables the reproducible loading of in excess of 10 Yb atoms from a Zeeman slower directly into a magneto-…
