Magnetic guide of cold atoms using a U-shaped current-carrying conductor

Abstract

We propose a new scheme to magnetically guide cold neutral atoms using a U-shaped current carrying conductor. The spatial magnetic field distribution from the U-shaped current-carrying conductor and the relationship between the magnetic field and parameters of the U-shaped conductor are analysed. Our study shows that U-shaped current-carrying conductor can be used to realize single- or double-channel magnetic guiding of cold atoms in weak-field-seeking states and to construct various atom-optical elements. By using Monte Carlo simulations, the dynamic process of the guided atomic-beam splitting in an atomic-beam splitter composed by the U-shaped current-carrying conductor is studied and some results are presented.

Magnetically Guiding Atoms with Current-Carrying Conductors

Liu Nan-Chun, Gao Wei-Jian, Yin Jian-Ping

We propose a novel magnetic guide for cold neutral atoms using some current-carrying conductors. The spatial distributions of the magnetic fields from a V-shaped or U-shaped current-carrying conductor are calculated, and the relationship between the resulting magnetic field and the parameters of the current-carrying conductors is analysed in detail. The result shows that these current-carrying conductors can be used to realize a single or a controllable double magnetic guide of cold atoms in the weak-field-seeking state, and to construct various atom-optical elements, and even to realize a single-mode atomic waveguiding under certain conditions.

Magnetic Guide and Trap for Cold Neutral Atoms with Current‐Carrying Wires and Conductors

Jianping Yin, Weijian Gao, Nanchun Liu +2 more

Abstract We propose two novel schemes for guiding cold, neutral atoms using static magnetic fields generated by several cylindrical arrays of current‐carrying wires or a few different‐shaped (V‐, or U‐shaped, etc.) current‐carrying conductors, and calculate the corresponding magnetic‐field contours and their trapping potentials. Our study shows that some guiding schemes can be used to form an atomic funnel, or an atomic beam‐splitter, or even construct an atomic interferometer, and some guiding schemes can be used to realize a single‐mode wave guide of ultracold atoms (or coherent matter waves, BEC) under certain conditions. We also propose a few new schemes to microscopically trap neutral atoms by using various planar arrays of current‐carrying wires and calculate the spatial distribution of the magnetic fields. Our research shows that these microtrap arrays can be used to form 1D, 2D or 3D atomic magnetic lattices, and then to prepare 1D, 2D or 3D photonic crystals, even to realize a 1D, 2D or 3D array of magnetically‐trapped BECs or Bose Clusters.

Controllable cold atom beam splitter based on parallel current-carrying wires and bias magnetic field

Liu Nan-Chun

A novel controllable cold neutral atom guiding scheme based on parallel current-carrying wires and bias magnetic field is proposed.Magnetic field distribution in cross-section at different transverse bias field B_(bx) is calculated.The centre of magnetic traps is discussed.Single-channel and double-channel magnetic guiding can be realized.Based on this scheme,an atom beam splitter,which has adjustable splitting ratio, is designed by adding a longitudinal magnetic bias field B_(by).The transverse distribution of magnetic trap is calculated,and the magnetic contour plane of the splitter is shown.By using the classical Monte-Carlo method,the splitting process is simulated,and this scheme is validated by the simulation results.Splitting ratio between left and right guide changes from 0.9/0.1 to 0.1/0.9 when longitudinal magnetic bias field B_(by) changes from -0.005 G to 0.005 G.

A Novel Controllable Beam Splitter for Guided Atoms

Liu Nan-Chun, Gao Wei-Jian, Yin Jian-Ping

We propose a novel atomic beamsplitter for guided atoms composed of a U-shaped current carrying conductor and an additional bias magnetic field, and study the dynamic process of atomic beam splitting in the beamsplitter by Monte Carlo simulations. Our study shows that the splitting ratio of the beamsplitter can be continuously adjusted from 0 to 1 by changing the additional bias field. In addition, the transverse temperature of guided atoms at the outlets of the beamsplitter are also estimated and explained qualitatively.

Magnetic focusing of cold atomic beam with a 2D array of current-carrying wires

Yang Liu, Min Yun, Jianping Yin

A new scheme to realize a two-dimensional (2D) array of magnetic micro-lenses for a cold atomic beam, formed by an array of square current-carrying wires, is proposed. We calculate the spatial distributions of the magnetic fields from the array of current-carrying wires and the magnetic focusing potential for cold rubidium atoms, and study the dynamic focusing processes of cold atoms passing through the magnetic micro-lens array and its focusing properties by using Monte-Carlo simulations and trajectory tracing method. The result shows that the proposed micro-lens array can be used to focus effectively a cold atomic beam, even to load ultracold atoms or a BEC sample into a 2D optical lattice formed by blue detuned hollow beams.
