Laser cooling of molecular anions.
We propose a scheme for laser cooling of negatively charged molecules. We briefly summarize the requirements for such laser cooling and we identify a number of potential candidates. A detailed computation study with C_{2}^{-}, the most studied molecular anion, is carried out. Simulations of 3D laser cooling in a gas phase show that this molecule could be cooled down to below 1 mK in only a few ...
متن کاملLaser cooling to quantum degeneracy.
We report on Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of strontium atoms, using laser cooling as the only cooling mechanism. The condensate is formed within a sample that is continuously Doppler cooled to below 1 μK on a narrow-linewidth transition. The critical phase-space density for condensation is reached in a central region of the sample, in which atoms are rendered transparent for laser cooli...
متن کاملHIGH RESOLUTION LASER SPECTROSCOPY IN COLD SUPERSONIC MOLECULAR BEAMS COOLING, REDUCTION OF DOPPLER WIDTH AND APPLICATION
The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...
متن کاملCooling Down Lévy Flights
Let L(t) be a Lévy flights process with a stability index α ∈ (0, 2), and U be an external multiwell potential. A jump-diffusion Z satisfying a stochastic differential equation dZ(t) = −U ′(Z(t−))dt+ σ(t)dL(t) describes an evolution of a Lévy particle of an ‘instant temperature’ σ(t) in an external force field. The temperature is supposed to decrease polynomially fast, i.e. σ(t) ≈ t for some θ ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of cooling in laser-excited heme proteins.
In transient optical experiments the absorbed photon raises the vibrational temperature of the chromophore. In heme proteins at room temperature conversion of a 530-nm photon into vibrational energy is estimated to raise the temperature of the heme by 500-700 K. Cooling of the heme is expected to occur mainly by interacting with the surrounding protein. We report molecular dynamics simulations ...
