Elucidating Au-C Bonding via Laser Spectroscopy of Gold Monocarbide
Rory M. Weldon, Danielle M. Darling, Nicole M. Albright +4
Gold monocarbide (AuC) has been produced and characterized using laser spectroscopy, representing the first reported observation of AuC. We recorded the optical spectrum of gas-pha…
Hyperfine-Resolved Spectroscopy of Dysprosium Monoxide (DyO) for Precision Measurements of the Nuclear Schiff Moment
Zack D. Lasner, Aidan T. Ohl, Nicole M. Albright +5
We perform laser spectroscopy of dysprosium monoxide (DyO) to determine the hyperfine structure of the ground X8 and excited [17.1]7 states in the Dy and Dy isotopo…
Magneto-optical trapping of a heavy polyatomic molecule for precision measurement
Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett, Hiromitsu Sawaoka +10
We report a magneto-optical trap of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) containing 2000(600) molecules at a temperature of 1.2(3) mK. The lifetime is 91(9) ms, which is limited by decay…
Optical Cycling and Sensitivity to the Electron's Electric Dipole Moment in Gold-Containing Molecules
K. Cooper Stuntz, Kendall L. Rice, Lan Cheng +1
We propose diatomic molecules built from gold and carbon-group atoms as promising candidates for optical cycling and precision measurements. We show that this class of molecules (A…
Relativistic Exact Two-Component Coupled-Cluster Study of Molecular Sensitivity Factors for Nuclear Schiff Moments
Tianxiang Chen, Chaoqun Zhang, Lan Cheng +12
Relativistic exact two-component coupled-cluster calculations of molecular sensitivity factors for nuclear Schiff moments (NSMs) are reported. We focus on molecules containing heav…
