Ultracold heteronuclear mixture of ground and excited state atoms.
We report on the realization of an ultracold mixture of lithium atoms in the ground state and ytterbium atoms in an excited metastable (3P2) state. Such a mixture can support broad magnetic Feshbach resonances which may be utilized for the production of ultracold molecules with an electronic spin degree of freedom, as well as novel Efimov trimers. We investigate the interaction properties of th...
متن کاملExcited Coherent Modes of Ultracold Trapped Atoms
A method of exciting coherent spatial modes of Bose–condensed trapped atoms is considered. The method is based on the resonance modulation of the trapping potential. The population dynamics of coherent modes is analysed. The method makes it possible to create mixtures of different spatial modes in arbitrary proportions, including the formation of pure excited coherent modes. Novel critical effe...
متن کاملCoherent Heteronuclear Spin Dynamics in an Ultracold Spinor Mixture.
We report the observation of coherent heteronuclear spin dynamics driven by interspecies spin-spin interaction in an ultracold spinor mixture, which manifests as periodical and well-correlated spin oscillations between two atomic species. In particular, we investigate the magnetic field dependence of the oscillations and find a resonance behavior which depends on both the linear and quadratic Z...
متن کاملRole of electronic excitations in ground-state-forbidden inelastic collisions between ultracold atoms and ions.
The role of electronic excitation in inelastic collisions between ultracold Ca atoms and Ba(+) ions, confined in a hybrid trap, is studied for the first time. Unlike previous investigations, this system is energetically precluded from undergoing inelastic collisions in its ground state, allowing a relatively simple experimental determination and interpretation of the influence of electronic exc...
متن کاملEntropy exchange in a mixture of ultracold atoms.
We investigate experimentally the entropy transfer between two distinguishable atomic quantum gases at ultralow temperatures. Exploiting a species-selective trapping potential, we are able to control the entropy of one target gas in presence of a second auxiliary gas. With this method, we drive the target gas into the degenerate regime in conditions of controlled temperature by transferring ent...
