چکیده
Abstract We theoretically investigate the laser cooling of fermionic barium monofluoride ( 137 BaF) molecules, which are promising candidates for precision studies weak parity violation and nuclear anapole moments. This molecular species features two spins, resulting in a hyperfine structure that is considerably more complicated than one found usual laser-cooled diatomics. use optical Bloch equations rate to show cycling, sub-Doppler bichromatic forces can all be realized under realistically achievable experimental conditions.

Sympathetic Cooling of Molecules Using Laser-Cooled Atoms
Sympathetic cooling of molecules using laser-cooled neutral atoms is a new technique being developed in the Hudson Lab at UCLA that may be able to cool clouds of molecular ions to their ground energy states. Molecular ions are trapped in an oscillating electric field inside a magnetooptical trap containing a cloud of ultracold neutral atoms. The collisions between the molecules and the ultracol...
متن کاملA proposal for laser cooling of OH molecules
We describe a possible method for laser cooling OH molecules. The method is based on exciting the J = 2 stimulated Raman transition in the ground electronic and vibronic state. The molecules are assumed to already be trapped with a temperature of ∼10 mK or less in a spatially varying magnetic field. By exciting the molecule in a region of high magnetic field, the subsequent spontaneous photon e...
متن کاملA linewidth-narrowed and frequency-stabilized dye laser for application in laser cooling of molecules.
We demonstrate a robust and versatile solution for locking the continuous-wave dye laser for applications in laser cooling of molecules which need linewidth-narrowed and frequency-stabilized lasers. The dye laser is first stabilized with respect to a reference cavity by Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique which results in a single frequency with the linewidth 200 kHz and short-term stabilization,...
متن کاملProspects for application of ultracold Sr2 molecules in precision measurements
Precision measurements with ultracold molecules require development of robust and sensitive techniques to produce and interrogate the molecules. With this goal, we theoretically analyze factors that affect frequency measurements between rovibrational levels of the Sr2 molecule in the electronic ground state. This measurement can be used to constrain the possible time variation of the proton-ele...
متن کاملSecond Virial Coefficients for Nonspherical Molecules and Their Experimental Measurements
The virial coefficients can be obtained from statistical mechanics in connection with the intermolecular potentials. The intermolecular potential of polyatomic molecules is usually assumed to consist of a spherically symmetric component plus a contribution due to asphericaity of the molecular charge distribution. In this study, the second virial coefficients have been calculated for N2...
