Optical formation of ultracold NaK${}_2$ ground state molecules

Baraa Shammout, Leon Karpa, Silke Ospelkaus +2

We study the rovibronic transitions in NaK${}_2$ between its electronic ground state $1^2{A}^{\prime }$ and its second excited state $3^2{A}^{\prime }$, to identify possible pathways for the creation of u…
