Reaction blockading in charged-neutral excited-state chemistry at low collision energy

Prateek Puri, Michael Mills, Ionel Simbotin +5

We study an excited atom-polar molecular ion chemical reaction (Ca + BaCl) at low temperature by utilizing a hybrid atom-ion trapping system. The reaction rate and product…

Excitation-assisted nonadiabatic charge-transfer reaction in a mixed atom-ion system

Ming Li, Michael Mills, Prateek Puri +3

An important physical process unique to neutral-ion systems is the charge-transfer (CT) reaction. Here, we present measurements of and models for CT processes between co-trapped ul…

High-resolution collision energy control through ion position modulation in atom-ion hybrid systems

Prateek Puri, Michael Mills, Elizabeth P. West +2

We demonstrate an ion shuttling technique for high-resolution control of atom-ion collision energy by translating an ion held within a radio-frequency trap through a magneto-optica…

Improved magneto-optical trapping of Ca

Michael Mills, Prateek Puri, Yanmei Yu +3

We investigate the limiting factors in the standard implementation of the Ca magneto-optical trap. We find that intercombination transitions from the 4s5p 1P1 state used to repump…
