Phase separation in a two-species atomic Bose-Einstein condensate with an interspecies Feshbach resonance

Lu Zhou, Jing Qian, Han Pu +2 more

We consider a mixture of two-species atomic Bose-Einstein condensates coupled to a bound molecular state at zero temperature via an interspecies Feshbach resonance. The interspecies Feshbach coupling precludes the possibility of doubly mixed phases while enables not only the pure molecular superfluid but also the pure atomic superfluids to exist as distinct phases. We show that this system is able to support a rich set of phase separations, including that between two distinct mixed atom-molecule phases. We pay particular attention to the effects of the Feschbach coupling and the particle collisions on the miscibility of this multicomponent condensate system.

Dynamics of atomic and molecular solitary waves inatom-molecular hybrid Bose-Einstein condensates coupled by Magnetic Feshbach Resonance: Role of induced decays of Feshbach Molecules

Krishna Rai Dastidar, Deb Shankar Ray

Dynamics of atomic and molecular bright solitons in a hybrid atom-molecular BEC (Bose Einstein Condensate) system of 85Rb coupled through Magnetic Feshbach Resonance (MFR) has been investigated. By solving the time independent atom-molecular coupled equations, the initial atomic and molecular wavefunctions were obtained and the dynamics of the initial atomic and molecular waves in a spherical one-dimensional trap were studied by solving the time-dependent atom-molecular coupled equations. During evolution two types of induced or stimulated decays of the feshbach molecules were switched on. These two types of stimulated decays of the feshbach molecules to the two-atom continuum and to the bound level of the lowest hyperfinee state of the molecule were induced by laser or Radio Frequency fields. Hence the strength of these two induced decays can be controlled by varying the laser or RF field parameters e.g. intensity, detuning etc. It is found that depending on the relative strength of these two types of stimulated or induced decays initial atomic and molecular waves assume solitonic nature as bright solitons during evolution and the stability of these solitonic waves can be achieved by controlling the relative strength of induced decays in two different channels. It is shown that these two induced decays lead to the formation of stable atomic and molecular solitons by suppressing the initial oscillations and instability in the atom-molecular coupled system of 85Rb atoms.

LASER COOLING THE DIATOMIC MOLECULE CaH

III, Velasquez, Michael D. Di Rosa

To laser-cool a species, a closed (or nearly closed) cycle is required to dissipate translational energy through many directed laser-photon absorption and subsequent randomly-directed spontaneous emission events. Many atoms lend themselves to such a closed-loop cooling cycle. Attaining laser-cooled molecular species is challenging because of their inherently complex internal structure, yet laser-cooling molecules could lead to studies in interesting chemical dynamics among other applications. Typically, laser-cooled atoms are assembled into molecules through photoassociation or Feschbach resonance. CaH is one of a few molecules whose internal structure is quite atom-like, allowing a nearly closed cycle without the need for many repumping lasers. We will also present our work-to-date on laser cooling this molecule. We employ traditional pulsed atomic/molecular beam techniques with a laser vaporization source to generate species with well-defined translational energies over a narrow range of velocity. In this way, we can apply laser-cooling to most species in the beam along a single dimension (the beam’s axis). This project is funded by the LDRD program of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
