Feshbach spectroscopy of ultracold mixtures of Li 6 and Dy 164 atoms

Ke Xie, Xi Li, Yu-Yang Zhou +7 more

We report on the observation of Feshbach resonances in ultracold $^{6}\mathrm{Li}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ mixtures, where $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms are respectively prepared in their three lowest spin states and $^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ atoms are prepared in their lowest-energy state. We observe 21 interspecies scattering resonances over a magnetic-field range from 0 to 702 G using atom loss spectroscopy, three of which exhibit relatively broad widths. These broad resonances provide precise control over the interspecies interaction strength, enabling the study of strongly interacting effects in $^{6}\mathrm{Li}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ mixtures. Additionally, we observe a well-isolated interspecies resonance at 700.1 G, offering a unique platform to explore novel impurity physics, where heavy dipolar $^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ atoms are immersed in a strongly interacting Fermi superfluid of $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms.

Feshbach Resonances in p -Wave Three-Body Recombination within Fermi-Fermi Mixtures of Open-Shell Li6 and Closed-Shell Yb173 Atoms

Alaina Green, Hui Li, Jun Hui See Toh +6 more

We report on the observation of magnetic Feshbach resonances in a Fermi-Fermi mixture of ultracold atoms with extreme mass imbalance and on their unique p-wave dominated three-body recombination processes.Our system consists of open-shell alkali-metal 6 Li and closed-shell 173 Yb atoms, both spin polarized and held at various temperatures between 1 and 20 μK.We confirm that Feshbach resonances in this system are solely the result of a weak separation-dependent hyperfine coupling between the electronic spin of 6 Li and the nuclear spin of 173 Yb.Our analysis also shows that three-body recombination rates are controlled by the identical fermion nature of the mixture, even in the presence of s-wave collisions between the two species and with recombination rate coefficients outside the Wigner threshold regime at our lowest temperature.Specifically, a comparison of experimental and theoretical line shapes of the recombination process indicates that the characteristic asymmetric line shape as a function of applied magnetic field and a maximum recombination rate coefficient that is independent of temperature can only be explained by triatomic collisions with nonzero, p-wave total orbital angular momentum.The resonances can be used to form ultracold doublet ground-state molecules and to simulate quantum superfluidity in mass-imbalanced mixtures.

Metastability range of the Bose condensate in 7\mathsf{^7}7 Li-fermion mixtures at T = 0
We report on the observation of Feshbach resonances in ultracold $^{6}\mathrm{Li}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ mixtures, where 6Li^{6}\mathrm{Li}6Li atoms are respectively prepared in their three lowest spin states and 164Dy^{164}\mathrm{Dy}164Dy atoms are prepared in their lowest-energy state. We observe 21 interspecies scattering resonances over a magnetic-field range from 0 to 702 G using atom loss spectroscopy, three of which exhibit relatively broad widths. These broad resonances provide precise control over the interspecies interaction strength, enabling the study of strongly interacting effects in $^{6}\mathrm{Li}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ mixtures.
