电子激发在冷原子-离子化学中的作用

The role of electronic excitation in cold atom-ion chemistry

Scott T Sullivan, Wade G Rellergert, Svetlana Kotochigova, Eric R Hudson

摘要:

研究了在混合阱中超冷Ca原子与Ba $^+$离子之间的电荷交换化学反应中电子激发的作用。这个原型系统在基态中被排除在能量之外,允许对电子激发的影响进行特别简单的解释。结果表明,离子的电子激发对化学反应速率有重要影响,而中性原子的电子激发则不那么重要。实验还表明,正确选择原子-离子对,可以减轻超冷原子-离子环境中这些化学反应的不必要的影响,标志着迈向下一代混合器件的重要一步。

英文摘要:

The role of electronic excitation in charge exchange chemical reactions between ultracold Ca atoms and Ba$^+$ ions, confined in a hybrid trap, is studied. This prototypical system is energetically precluded from reacting in its ground state, allowing a particularly simple interpretation of the influence of electronic excitation. It is found that while electronic excitation of the ion can critically influence the chemical reaction rate, electronic excitation of the neutral atom is less important. It is also experimentally demonstrated that with the correct choice of the atom-ion pair, it is possible to mitigate the unwanted effects of these chemical reactions in ultracold atom-ion environments, marking an important step towards the next generation of hybrid devices.
