Abstract

We report on the study of the (ns1/2+np1/2)0g−Rb2 and Cs2 weakly‐bound‐level photoassociative spectroscopy in a magneto‐optical trap. For the analysis, a Lu‐Fano graph is plotted for each set of data. We show that an improved LeRoy‐Bernstein formula must to be used. The data is then analysed by a classical procedure using the improved LeRoy‐Bernstein formula. The (ns1/2+np1/2)0g−Rb2 and Cs2 multipolar coefficients c6 are fitted. They are found to be in good agreement with previous results.

Haikel Jelassi, B. Viaris de Lesegno, Laurence Pruvost

We report on cold atom photoassociation of $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ giving spectroscopy data of the $(5{s}_{1∕2}+5{p}_{1∕2}){0}_{g}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ long-range molecular states in the asymptotic range of [$\ensuremath{-}12.5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, $\ensuremath{-}1.5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$] below the dissociation limit. Using a Lu-Fano approach to analyze the data, we show that an improved LeRoy-Bernstein model has to be applied. This approach lets us determine the phase shift of the wave function at the dissociation limit of the ${0}_{g}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ series.

We report on cold atom photoassociation of {sup 87}Rb giving spectroscopy data of the (5s{sub 1/2}+5p{sub 1/2})0{sub g}{sup -} long-range molecular states in the asymptotic range of [-12.5 cm{sup -1}, -1.5 cm{sup -1}] below the dissociation limit.

This approach lets us determine the phase shift of the wave function at the dissociation limit of the 0{sub g}{sup -} series.

Reanalysis of the photoassociation spectrum of the weakly binding (6S 1/2 + 6P 3/2 ) 1 g 133 Cs 2 levels, reported in the previous study J. Mol. Spectro. 255 (2009) 106], is performed by using a Lu-Fano graph coupled to the improved LeRoy-Bernstein formula including two additional modified terms. A more accurate coefficient (c 3 ) is obtained for the leading long-range potential (-c 3 /R 3 ) of a diatomic molecule.

Spin effects in (6s1∕2+6p1∕2)0u+ Cs2133 weakly bound molecules analyzed by using the Lu-Fano method coupled to the improved LeRoy-Bernstein formula

Haikel Jelassi, B. Viaris de Lesegno, Laurence Pruvost +2 more

We present an analysis of spectroscopic data concerning the long-range molecular state $(6{s}_{1∕2}+6{p}_{1∕2}){0}_{u}^{+}$ of $^{133}\mathrm{Cs}_{2}$ [M. Pichler, H. Chen, and W. C. Stwalley, J. Chem. Phys. 121, 1796 (2004)] by using the Lu-Fano method coupled to the improved LeRoy-Bernstein formula. The obtained Lu-Fano graph exhibits the coupling of molecular series to the $(6{s}_{1∕2}+6{p}_{3∕2}){0}_{u}^{+}$ state. The coupling is due to the spin effects in the molecule. A two-channel model involving the improved LeRoy-Bernstein formula allows us to characterize the molecular series, to localize the perturbing levels, to evaluate the coupling in the vicinity of each perturbing level (five observed for Cs) in a two-level approach and in a more accurate multilevel description. Furthermore, we predict the energy and the width of the first predissociated level.

A two-channel model involving an improved LeRoy-Bernstein formula allows us to characterize the molecular series, to localize $(5{s}_{1∕2}+5{p}_{3∕2}){0}_{u}^{+}$ levels, to evaluate the coupling, and to predict the energy and width of the first predissociated level of $(5{s}_{1∕2}+5{p}_{3∕2}){0}_{u}^{+}$ series. An experimental spectrum confirms the prediction.
