Making Cold Molecules by Time-dependent Feshbach Resonances
P. S. Julienne, E. Tiesinga, T. Koehler
Pairs of trapped atoms can be associated to make a diatomic molecule using a time dependent magnetic field to ramp the energy of a scattering resonance state from above to below th…
Three body problem in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate
Thorsten Koehler
We derive the explicit three body contact potential for a dilute condensed Bose gas from microscopic theory. The three body coupling constant exhibits the general form predicted by…
Microscopic theory of atom-molecule oscillations in a Bose-Einstein condensate
Thorsten Koehler, Thomas Gasenzer, Keith Burnett
In a recent experiment at JILA [E.A. Donley et al., Nature (London) 417, 529 (2002)] an initially pure condensate of Rb-85 atoms was exposed to a specially designed time dependent…
The van der Waals Potential between Metastable Atoms and Solid Surfaces: Novel Diffraction Experiments versus Theory
Ruediger Bruehl, Peter Fouquet, Robert E. Grisenti +5
Highly polarizable metastable He* () and Ne* () atoms have been diffracted from a 100 nm period silicon nitride transmission grating and the van der W…
Quantum Effects in Matter-Wave Diffraction
Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt, Thorsten Koehler
Advances in micro-technology of the last years have made it possible to carry optics textbooks experiments over to atomic and molecular beams, such as diffraction by a double slit…
The role of the initial state in the collapse of a Bose condensed gas
Thorsten Koehler
The stability of a Bose condensed gas with a negative scattering length is studied with regard to the role played by the initial state. A trapped ideal gas ground state is shown to…
