Repumping ground-state population in a coherently driven atomic resonance.
We experimentally demonstrate an optical pumping technique to pump a dilute rubidium vapor into the m(F) = 0 ground states. The technique utilizes selection rules that forbid the excitation of the m(F) = 0 states by linearly-polarized light. A substantial increase in the transparency contrast of the coherent-population-trapping resonance used for frequency standards is demonstrated.
متن کاملGround-state structures of atomic metallic hydrogen.
Ab initio random structure searching using density functional theory is used to determine the ground-state structures of atomic metallic hydrogen from 500 GPa to 5 TPa. Including proton zero-point motion within the harmonic approximation, we estimate that molecular hydrogen dissociates into a monatomic body-centered tetragonal structure near 500 GPa (r(s)=1.23) that remains stable to 1 TPa (r(s...
متن کاملAll-Optical Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensates
Given the tremendous impact of BEC research in last 7 years and the continued growth of the field, it is important to explore different methods for reaching BEC, particularly methods that offer new capabilities, simplicity, or speed. We have recently demonstrated such a method by creating a Bose condensate of Rb atoms directly in a crossed-beam optical dipole force trap using tightly focused CO...
متن کاملAll-Optical Reconstruction of Crystal Band Structure.
The band structure of matter determines its properties. In solids, it is typically mapped with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, in which the momentum and the energy of incoherent electrons are independently measured. Sometimes, however, photoelectrons are difficult or impossible to detect. Here we demonstrate an all-optical technique to reconstruct momentum-dependent band gaps by expl...
متن کاملRelativistic prediction of the ground state of atomic Lawrencium
2014 In contradiction to the prediction of the Periodic Table but in agreement with earlier suggestions by Brewer and Mann, the ground state configuration of atomic Lawrencium (Z = 103) will not be 7s2 6d 2D3/2 but 7s2 7p 2P1/2. The reason for this deviation from normal trends across the Periodic Table are strong relativistic effects on the outermost 7p1/2 orbital. Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock...
