چکیده
Neutral atoms may be trapped via the interaction of their magnetic dipole moment with magnetic field gradients. One of the possible schemes is the cloverleaf trap. It is often desirable to have at hand a fast and precise technique for measuring the magnetic field distribution. We introduce a novel diagnostic tool for instantaneous imaging the equipotential lines of a magnetic field within a region of space (the vacuum recipient) that is not accessible to massive probes. Our technique is based on spatially resolved observation of the fluores-cence emitted by a hot beam of sodium atoms crossing a thin slice of resonant laser light within the magnetic field region to be investigated. The inhomogeneous magnetic field spatially modulates the resonance condition between the Zeeman-shifted hyperfine sublevels and the laser light and therefore the amount of scattered pho-tons. We demonstrate this technique by mapping the field of our cloverleaf trap in three dimensions under various conditions.

We suggest to use ‘fluctuation spectroscopy’ as a method to detect granularity in a disordered metal close to a superconducting transition. We show that with lowering temperature T the resistance R(T ) of a system of relatively large grains initially grows due to the fluctuation suppression of the one-electron tunneling but decreases with further lowering T due to the coherent charge transfer o...

In two dimensions the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a cold, dilute gas of bosons has an energy dependent coupling parameter describing particle interactions. We present numerical solutions of this equation for bosons in harmonic traps and show that the results can be quite sensitive to the precise form of the coupling parameter that is used. Solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation in two dim...

We analytically study the photorefractive Gunn effect in n-GaAs subjected to two external laser beams which form a moving interference pattern (MIP) in the semiconductor. When the intensity of the spatially independent part of the MIP, denoted by I0, is small, the system has a periodic domain train (PDT), consistent with the results of linear stability analysis. When I0 is large, the space-char...
