Exploring ultracold collisions in a novel alkali--transition-metal

Cr/Li Lab

Our preprint on ultracold collisions in 6Li-53Cr mixtures is now on the arXiv! We have performed extensive Feshbach spectroscopy of various spin combinations revealing more than 50 resonances between 0 and 1500 G. By means of a full coupled-channel model, we have unambiguously assigned a complete set of quantum numbers to each resonance and derived a thorough characterization of the scattering properties of our system. This has enabled us to identify several resonances suitable for future few-body and many-body studies of mass-imbalanced Fermi mixtures. What is more, our work paves the way to the production of a new class of ultracold molecules possessing both electric and magnetic dipole moments.

Stay tuned!
