Abstract

We report the results of in-situ characterization of $ ^{87}$Rb atom cloud in a quadrupole Ioffe configuration (QUIC) magnetic trap after radio frequency (RF) evaporative cooling of the trapped atom cloud. The in-situ absorption images of the atom cloud have shown clear bimodal optical density (OD) profiles which indicate the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phase transition in the trapped gas. Also, we report the measured variation in the sizes of the condensate and thermal clouds with the final frequency in the frequency scan of the RF-field applied for evaporative cooling. The results are consistent with the theoretical understanding and predictions reported earlier.

Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Quadrupole-Ioffe Configuration Trap

Tilman Esslinger, Immanuel Bloch, Theodor W. Hänsch

We demonstrate Bose-Einstein condensation of rubidium atoms in a simple low-power magnetic trap. This trap combines the quadrupole with the Ioffe configuration ~QUIC trap! and consists of just three coils. Magneto-optically trapped Rb atoms are first loaded into the linear trapping potential of a magnetic quadrupole, which is then converted into the parabolic geometry of an Ioffe trap. During this process two spherical quadrupole traps with perpendicular axes merge and the trapped atomic cloud moves close to the magnetic field producing coils, resulting in tight confinement of the atoms while the power dissipation of the trap remains low. The magnetically trapped atoms are cooled to below the phase transition of Bose-Einstein condensation by rf-induced evaporation. @S1050-2947~98!51210-3#

Spatial observation of Bose-Einstein condensation of 87Rb in a confining potential

Brian P. Anderson, Mark A. Kasevich

Bose-Einstein condensation of ${}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ has been observed in a vapor cell time-averaged orbiting potential trap, and the trapped condensates have been studied using in situ absorption and dark-ground imaging methods. Condensates of $3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}$ atoms were observed after 26 s of evaporative cooling. The evaporative cooling sequence consisted of a combination of cooling with ramping magnetic-field strengths and radio-frequency-induced cooling. The measured sizes, numbers of atoms, and transition temperatures of the condensates are consistent with theoretical predictions that include the effects of atomic interactions.

Realisation and Characterisation the BEC for 87Rb Atoms

Nihal A. AbdulWahhab, Ferruccio Renzoni

The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is created in a magnetic trap in the Quadrupole-Ioffe configuration (QUIC). This kind of trap combines an anti-Helmholtz quadrupole field with an offset field produced by a single coil perpendicular to the quadrupole field axis to suppress Majorana transitions. In the quadrupole trap evaporative cooling is performed by using radio frequency, reaching the phase transition to a BEC in the QUIC trap. By using Time of Flight (TOF) technique, the expansion velocity is measured with and which lead to temperature of and It is roughly around the recoil temperature.

Achievement of quantum degeneracy in a Na-QUIC trap in Brazil: anin situobservation

Using a system composed of a Quadrupole and Ioffe Configuration (QUIC) trap loaded from a slowed atomic beam, we have performed experiments to observe the Bose-Einstein Condensation of Na atoms. In order to obtain the atomic distribution in the trap, we use an in situ out of resonance absorption image through a probe beam, to determine temperature and density. The phase space density (D) is calculated using the density profile and the temperature. We have followed D as a function of the final evaporation frequency. The results show that at 1.65 MHz we crossed the value for D expected to correspond to the critical point to start de Bose-Condensation of the sample. Due to the low number of atoms remaining in the trap at the critical point, the interaction produces minor effects and therefore an ideal gas model explains well the observations. We analyze the obtained low number in terms of efficiency of evaporation. The utility of an in situ detection is illustrated by measuring the harmonic gas pressure of the trapped gas in the route to condensation.

Evidence for a Bose-Einstein condensate in dilute Rb gas by absorption image in a quadrupole and Ioffe configuration trap

王育竹, Shuyu Zhou, 龙全 +2 more

We report the realization of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in dilute rubidium gas. The BEC was achieved in a quadrupole and Ioffe configuration trap. The number of condensed atoms is around 4 X 10(4) in total 5 X 10(5), and the transition, temperature is 250 nK. We have studied the light scattering of the atom cloud and the condensate in a tightly confined magnetic trap. We show that it is possible to use the diffraction patterns in the near-resonant imaging of the trapped cold atomic samples to give the information of the BEC phase transition.
