چکیده

We present the formation of homonuclear ${\mathrm{Cs}}_{2}$, ${\mathrm{K}}_{2}$, and heteronuclear CsK long-range Rydberg molecules in a dual-species magneto-optical trap for $^{39}\mathrm{K}$ $^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$ by one-photon UV photoassociation. The different ground-state-density dependence homo- photoassociation rates detection stable molecular ions resulting from autoionization provide an unambiguous assignment. perform bound-bound millimeter-wave spectroscopy to access states not accessible Calculations based on most recent theoretical model atomic parameters do reproduce full set data consistently. This shows that benchmark development models.

Photoassociation of long-range nD Rydberg molecules.

We observe long-range homonuclear diatomic nD Rydberg molecules photoassociated out of an ultracold gas of Rb87 atoms for 34≤n≤40. The measured ground-state binding energies of Rb87(nD+5S1/2) molecular states are larger than those of their Rb87(nS+5S1/2) counterparts, which shows the dependence of the molecular bond on the angular momentum of the Rydberg atom. We exhibit the transition of Rb87(...

Ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules exposed to a magnetic field

We investigate the impact of an external magnetic field on ultra-long-range and ultracold Rydberg molecules. The Born–Oppenheimer potential surfaces are analysed and discussed for different values of the magnetic field strength. The magnetic field provides an angular confinement turning a rotational degree of freedom into a vibrational one. We explore the vibrational dynamics and observe a pron...

Creation of polar and nonpolar ultra-long-range rydberg molecules

We predict the existence of a ubiquitous class of long-range molecular Rydberg states, whose Born-Oppenheimer potential curves are oscillatory in nature. These oscillations reflect the nodal structure of the atomic Rydberg state wave functions. The temperature and density of atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate are particularly favorable for the laser excitation of ultra-long-range vibrational b...

Long-range interaction between polar Rydberg atoms

The most attractive and the most repulsive potential-energy curves for interaction between two Rydberg atoms in a broad superposition of internal angular momentum states are studied. The extreme Stark states have the largest dipole moments and provide the dominant contribution to the interaction which is then expressed as a long-range expansion involving the permanent multipole moments Qj of ea...

Experimental characterization of singlet scattering channels in long-range Rydberg molecules.

We observe the formation of long-range Cs2 Rydberg molecules consisting of a Rydberg and a ground-state atom by photoassociation spectroscopy in an ultracold Cs gas near 6s1/2(F=3,4)→np3/2 resonances (n=26-34). The spectra reveal two types of molecular states recently predicted by D. A. Anderson, S. A. Miller, and G. Raithel [Phys. Rev. A 90, 062518 (2014)]: states bound purely by triplet s-wav...
