چکیده

We discuss the behavior of weakly bound bosonic dimers formed in a two-component cold Fermi gas at a large positive scattering length a for the interspecies interaction. We find the exact solution for the dimer-dimer elastic scattering and obtain a strong decrease of their collisional relaxation and decay with increasing a. The large ratio of the elastic to inelastic rate is promising for achieving Bose-Einstein condensation of the dimers and cooling the condensed gas to very low temperatures.

Pure gas of optically trapped molecules created from fermionic atoms.

We report on the production of a pure sample of up to 3 x 10(5) optically trapped molecules from a Fermi gas of 6Li atoms. The dimers are formed by three-body recombination near a Feshbach resonance. For purification, a Stern-Gerlach selection technique is used that efficiently removes all trapped atoms from the atom-molecule mixture. The behavior of the purified molecular sample shows a striki...

Observation of a strong atom-dimer attraction in a mass-imbalanced Fermi-Fermi mixture.

We investigate a mixture of ultracold fermionic K40 atoms and weakly bound Li6K40 dimers on the repulsive side of a heteronuclear atomic Feshbach resonance. By radio-frequency spectroscopy we demonstrate that the normally repulsive atom-dimer interaction is turned into a strong attraction. The phenomenon can be understood as a three-body effect in which two heavy K40 fermions exchange the light...

Probing pair-correlated fermionic atoms through correlations in atom shot noise.

Pair-correlated fermionic atoms are created through dissociation of weakly bound molecules near a magnetic-field Feshbach resonance. We show that correlations between atoms in different spin states can be detected using the atom shot noise in absorption images. Furthermore, using time-of-flight imaging we have observed atom pair correlations in momentum space.

DFT Application to the Analysis of Quadrupole Coupling Constant of Aluminum Methyl Chloride Dimers

The analysis of the 27Al and 35Cl quadrupole coupling parameters of aluminum methyl chloride dimers were carried out on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT). The available experimental values of quarupole coupling constants were compared with their calculated ones. In this investigation, the correlations were made between calculated 27Al and 35Cl nuclear quadrupole coupling constant...
