摘要:

我们报道了$^{88}$ Sr的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚,它有一个小的,负的s波散射长度($a_{88}=-2$ \,$a_0$)。我们克服了差的蒸发冷却特性的这种同位素的交感冷却与$^{87}$ Sr原子。$^{87}$ Sr在这一作用中是有效的,尽管事实上它是费米子,因为由$I=9/2$的核自旋产生的大的基态简并,这减少了碰撞的泡利阻塞的影响。我们观察到有限数量的原子在凝聚体($N_{max}\approx 10^4$),这是一致的值的$a_{88}$和光偶极陷阱参数。

英文摘要:

We report Bose-Einstein condensation of $^{88}$Sr, which has a small, negative s-wave scattering length ($a_{88}=-2$\,$a_0$). We overcome the poor evaporative cooling characteristics of this isotope by sympathetic cooling with $^{87}$Sr atoms. $^{87}$Sr is effective in this role in spite of the fact that it is a fermion because of the large ground state degeneracy arising from a nuclear spin of $I=9/2$, which reduces the impact of Pauli blocking of collisions. We observe a limited number of atoms in the condensate ($N_{max}\approx 10^4$) that is consistent with the value of $a_{88}$ and the optical dipole trap parameters.
