摘要:

(双原子)形状共振是一对碰撞原子的亚稳态,它们被碰撞中涉及的角动量施加的离心势垒准束缚。原子散射波函数的临时捕获对应于在低原子间间距下增强的原子对密度。这导致在分子形成过程(如光缔合)中涉及的波函数的更大重叠,从而使该过程更有效。然而,对于原子系综来说,只有当共振能量接近原子系综的温度时,原子对密度才会增强。在这里,我们探索的可能性控制的形状共振的能量,将其向温度限制在一个陷阱中的原子。位移是由非共振光与原子对的各向异性极化率的相互作用产生的,这会影响离心势垒和原子对的旋转和振动能级。我们发现,在高达$5\times 10^{9}$ W/cm $^2$的激光强度下,在$100 μ$ K下,$^{87}$ Rb原子的对密度增加了一个数量级,而在$20 μ$ K下,$^{88}$ Sr原子的对密度增加了两个数量级。

英文摘要:

A (diatomic) shape resonance is a metastable state of a pair of colliding atoms quasi-bound by the centrifugal barrier imposed by the angular momentum involved in the collision. The temporary trapping of the atoms' scattering wavefunction corresponds to an enhanced atom pair density at low interatomic separations. This leads to larger overlap of the wavefunctions involved in a molecule formation process such as photoassociation, rendering the process more efficient. However, for an ensemble of atoms, the atom pair density will only be enhanced if the energy of the resonance comes close to the temperature of the atomic ensemble. Herein we explore the possibility of controlling the energy of a shape resonance by shifting it toward the temperature of atoms confined in a trap. The shifts are imparted by the interaction of non-resonant light with the anisotropic polarizability of the atom pair, which affects both the centrifugal barrier and the pair's rotational and vibrational levels. We find that at laser intensities of up to $5\times 10^{9}$ W/cm$^2$ the pair density is increased by one order of magnitude for $^{87}$Rb atoms at $100 μ$K and by two orders of magnitude for $^{88}$Sr atoms at $20 μ$K.
