Radio-frequency association of molecules: the dressed state picture

Quentin Beaufils, A. Crubellier, T. Zanon-Willette +4 more

We develop a theoretical model to describe the radio-frequency (rf) induced coupling of a pair of colliding atoms to a Feshbach molecule when a magnetic field arbitrarily far from the Feshbach resonance is modulated in time. We use the dressed atom picture, and show that the coupling strength in presence of rf is equal to the Feshbach coupling strength multiplied by the square of a Bessel function. The argument of this function is equal to the ratio of the atomic rf Rabi frequency to the rf frequency. We experimentally demonstrate this law by measuring the rate of rf-association of molecules using a Feshbach resonance in d-wave collisions between ultra-cold chromium atoms.

Radio-frequency association of heteronuclear Feshbach molecules

Carsten Klempt, T. Henninger, O. Topic +5 more

We present a detailed analysis of the production efficiency of weakly bound heteronuclear $^{40}\mathrm{K}^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ Feshbach molecules using radio-frequency association in a harmonic trap. The efficiency was measured in a wide range of temperatures, binding energies, and radio frequencies. A comprehensive analytical model is presented, explaining the observed asymmetric spectra and achieving good quantitative agreement with the measured production rates. This model provides a deep understanding of the molecule association process and paves the way for future experiments which rely on Feshbach molecules, e.g., for the production of deeply bound molecules.

We create weakly bound Feshbach molecules in ultracold Fermi gas 4~K by sweeping a magnetic field across a broad Feshbach resonance point 202.2 G with a rate of 20 ms/G and perform the dissociation process using radio-frequency （RF） technology. From RF spectroscopy, we obtain the binding energy of the weakly bound molecules in the vicinity of Feshbach resonance. Our measurement also shows that the number of atoms generated from the dissociation process is different at various magnetic fields with the same RF amplitude, which gives us a deeper understanding of weakly bound Feshbach molecules.
