Ultracold collisions of oxygen molecules
Collision cross sections and rate constants between two ground-state oxygen molecules are investigated theoretically at translational energies below ;1 K and in zero magnetic field. We present calculations for elastic and spin-changing inelastic collision rates for different isotopic combinations of oxygen atoms as a prelude to understanding their collisional stability in ultracold magnetic tra...
متن کاملProduction of ultracold, polar RbCs* molecules via photoassociation.
We have produced ultracold, polar RbCs* molecules via photoassociation in a laser-cooled mixture of Rb and Cs atoms. Using a model of the RbCs* molecular interaction which reproduces the observed rovibrational structure, we infer decay rates in our experiments into deeply bound X(1)Sigma(+) ground-state RbCs vibrational levels as high as 5 x 10(5) s(-1) per level. Population in such deeply boun...
متن کاملInelastic collisions of ultracold polar molecules
The collisional stability of ultracold polar molecules in electrostatic traps is considered. Rate constants for collisions that drive molecules from weak-electric-field-seeking to strong-field-seeking states are estimated using a simple model that emphasizes long-range dipolar forces. The rate constants for collisional losses are found to vary substantially as a function of molecular parameters...
متن کاملDeviation from universality in collisions of ultracold 6Li2 molecules.
Collisions of 6Li2 molecules with free 6Li atoms reveal a striking deviation from universal predictions based on long-range van der Waals interactions. Li2 closed-channel molecules are formed in the highest vibrational state near a narrow Feshbach resonance and decay via two-body collisions with Li2, Li, and Na. For Li2 + Li2 and Li2 + Na, the decay rates agree with the universal predictions of...
متن کاملInelastic collisions of ultracold heteronuclear molecules in an optical trap.
Ultracold RbCs molecules in high-lying vibrational levels of the a3Sigma+ ground electronic state are confined in an optical trap. Inelastic collision rates of these molecules with both Rb and Cs atoms are determined for individual vibrational levels, across an order of magnitude of binding energies. The long-range dispersion coefficients for the collision process are calculated and used in a m...
