Photoassociation of long-range nD Rydberg molecules.
We observe long-range homonuclear diatomic nD Rydberg molecules photoassociated out of an ultracold gas of Rb87 atoms for 34≤n≤40. The measured ground-state binding energies of Rb87(nD+5S1/2) molecular states are larger than those of their Rb87(nS+5S1/2) counterparts, which shows the dependence of the molecular bond on the angular momentum of the Rydberg atom. We exhibit the transition of Rb87(...
متن کاملUltra-long-range Rydberg molecules exposed to a magnetic field
We investigate the impact of an external magnetic field on ultra-long-range and ultracold Rydberg molecules. The Born–Oppenheimer potential surfaces are analysed and discussed for different values of the magnetic field strength. The magnetic field provides an angular confinement turning a rotational degree of freedom into a vibrational one. We explore the vibrational dynamics and observe a pron...
متن کاملCreation of polar and nonpolar ultra-long-range rydberg molecules
We predict the existence of a ubiquitous class of long-range molecular Rydberg states, whose Born-Oppenheimer potential curves are oscillatory in nature. These oscillations reflect the nodal structure of the atomic Rydberg state wave functions. The temperature and density of atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate are particularly favorable for the laser excitation of ultra-long-range vibrational b...
متن کاملUltracold photoassociation spectroscopy: Long-range molecules and atomic scattering
Photoassociation is the process in which two colliding atoms absorb a photon to form an excited molecule. The development of laser-cooling techniques for producing gases at ultracold !!1 mK" temperatures allows photoassociation spectroscopy to be performed with very high spectral resolution. Of particular interest is the investigation of molecular states whose properties can be related, with hi...
