The determination of potential energy curve and dipole moment of the (5)0+ electronic state of 85Rb133Cs molecule by high resolution photoassociation spectroscopy

Jinpeng Yuan, Yanting Zhao, Zhonghua Ji +4 more

We present the formation of ultracold (85)Rb(133)Cs molecules in the (5)0(+) electronic state by photoassociation and their detection via resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization. Up to v = 47 vibrational levels including the lowest v = 0 vibrational and lowest J = 0 levels are identified with rotationally resolved high resolution photoassociation spectra. Precise Dunham coefficients are determined for the (5)0(+) state with high accuracy, then the Rydberg-Klein-Rees potential energy curve is derived. The electric dipole moments with respect to the vibrational numbers of the (5)0(+) electronic state of (85)Rb(133)Cs molecule are also measured in the range between 1.9 and 4.8 D. These comprehensive studies on previously unobserved rovibrational levels of the (5)0(+) state are helpful to understand the molecular structure and discover suitable transition pathways for transferring ultracold atoms to deeply bound rovibrational levels of the electronic ground state.

Production of ultracold 85Rb133Cs molecules in the lowest ground state via the B 1Π1 short-range state

Yuting Liu, Ting Gong, Zhonghua Ji +4 more

We investigate the production of cold 85Rb133Cs molecules in the lowest vibronic level of the ground electronic state via the B1Π1 short-range state. The photoassociation (PA) spectra of the B1Π1 state, including newly observed transition to 2 vibronic levels, are obtained by high sensitivity time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Based on these PA spectra, the harmonic and anharmonic constants of vibronic states are obtained, resulting in predicted vibronic energies with an uncertainty of 1–2 cm−1. The B1Π1 (v = 3) state is found to have the maximum production rate for ground-state molecules with a value of 3(1) × 104 s−1, which is 3 times larger than the value via the previously studied 23Π0+ (v = 10, J = 0) state with two-photon cascade decay. The populations of J = 0, 1, and 2 rotational levels of X1Σ+ (v = 0) state molecules formed via the B1Π1 (v = 3, J = 1) state are measured to be around 20%, 40%, and 20%. To quantify the coupling strength between the B1Π1 (v = 3) state and X1Σ+ (v = 0) state, the transition dipole moment between them is measured to be 7.2(2) × 10−3ea0, which is also 3 times larger than the value between the 23Π0+(v=10) state and X1Σ+ (v = 0) state, meaning the B1Π1 (v = 3) state has a stronger coupling with the X1Σ+ (v = 0) state. Our detailed measurements provide relevant parameters for investigation on direct stimulated Raman adiabatic passage transfer between the atomic scattering state and molecular bound state for 85Rb133Cs molecules.
