Growth and characterization of thorium-doped calcium fluoride single crystals
Kjeld Beeks, Tomas Sikorsky, Veronika Rosecker +13
We have grown Th:CaF and Th:CaF single crystals for investigations on the VUV laser-accessible first nuclear excited state of Th. To reach high dopi…
Driven electronic bridge processes via defect states in Th-doped crystals
Brenden S. Nickerson, Martin Pimon, Pavlo V. Bilous +7
The electronic defect states resulting from doping Th in CaF offer a unique opportunity to excite the nuclear isomeric state Th at approximately 8 eV via elect…
Effect of ion-trap parameters on energy distributions of ultra-cold atom-ion mixtures
Meirav Pinkas, Ziv Meir, Tomas Sikorsky +3
The holy grail of ion-neutral systems is reaching the s-wave scattering regime. However, most of these systems have a fundamental lower collision energy limit which is higher than…
Strong angular-momentum mixing in ultracold atom-ion excitation-exchange
Ruti Ben-Shlomi, Romain Vexiau, Ziv Meir +5
Atom-ion interactions occur through the electric dipole which is induced by the ion on the neutral atom. In a Langevin collision, in which the atom and ion overcome the centrifugal…
Phase-locking between different partial-waves in atom-ion spin-exchange collisions
Tomas Sikorsky, Masato Morita, Ziv Meir +6
We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of spin dynamics of a single Sr ion colliding with an ultracold cloud of Rb atoms in various hyperfine states. Whil…
Spin controlled atom-ion inelastic collisions
Tomas Sikorsky, Ziv Meir, Ruti Ben-shlomi +2
The control of the ultracold collisions between neutral atoms is an extensive and successful field of study. The tools developed allow for ultracold chemical reactions to be manage…
