How Does a Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensate Collapse?
We emphasize that the macroscopic collapse of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in a pancake-shaped trap occurs through local density fluctuations, rather than through a global collapse to the trap center. This hypothesis is supported by a recent experiment in a chromium condensate. Based on an invited talk in Seminar 6, Physics of Cold Trapped Atoms, at the 17th International Laser Physics Wo...
متن کاملControlled collapse of a Bose-Einstein condensate.
The point of instability of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) due to attractive interactions was studied. Stable 85Rb BECs were created and then caused to collapse by slowly changing the atom-atom interaction from repulsive to attractive using a Feshbach resonance. At a critical value, an abrupt transition was observed in which atoms were ejected from the condensate. By measuring the onset of th...
متن کاملStrongly dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate of dysprosium.
We report the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the most magnetic element, dysprosium. The Dy BEC is the first for an open f-shell lanthanide (rare-earth) element and is produced via forced evaporation in a crossed optical dipole trap loaded by an unusual, blue-detuned and spin-polarized narrowline magneto-optical trap. Nearly pure condensates of 1.5 × 10(4) (164)Dy atoms form below T = 30 nK...
متن کاملAngular collapse of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
We explore the structure and dynamics of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates DBECs near their threshold for instability. Near this threshold a DBEC may exhibit nontrivial biconcave density distributions, which are associated with instability against collapse into “angular roton” modes. Here we discuss experimental signatures of these features. In the first, we infer local collapse of the DBEC fro...
متن کاملAll-optical formation of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate.
We have created a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87Rb atoms directly in an optical trap. We employ a quasielectrostatic dipole force trap formed by two crossed CO2 laser beams. Loading directly from a sub-Doppler laser-cooled cloud of atoms results in initial phase space densities of approximately 1/200. Evaporatively cooling through the BEC transition is achieved by lowering the power in th...
