Production of NaCa${}^{+}$ molecular ions in the ground state from cold atom-ion mixtures by photoassociation via an intermediate state

Marko Gacesa, John A. Montgomery, H. Harvey Michels +1

We present a theoretical analysis of optical pathways for formation of cold Ca(${}^1$S)Na${}^{+}$(${}^1$S) molecular ions via an intermediate state. The formation schemes are based on ab i…
