库仑晶体中极性分子离子的转动温度

The rotational temperature of polar molecular ions in Coulomb crystals

Anders Bertelsen, Solvejg Jørgensen, Michael Drewsen

摘要:

以MgH^+离子为例,我们研究了在线性Paul阱中被同感冷却到库仑晶体中的较小极性分子离子的旋转运动与离子系综的平移运动耦合的程度。通过比较从旋转状态选择共振增强的光解离实验获得的结果与从理论模拟的数据,我们得出结论,有效的旋转温度超过平移温度(< 100 mK)超过两个数量级,表明一个非常弱的耦合。实际上,实验结果与旋转温度在~300 K时与周围环境处于热平衡相一致。

英文摘要:

With MgH^+ ions as a test case, we investigate to what extent the rotational motion of smaller polar molecular ions sympathetically cooled into Coulomb crystals in linear Paul traps couples to the translational motions of the ion ensemble. By comparing results obtained from rotational state-selective resonance-enhanced photo-dissociation experiments with data from theoretical simulations, we conclude that the effective rotational temperature exceeds the translational temperature (< 100 mK) by more than two orders of magnitude, indicating a very weak coupling. In fact, the experimental results are consistent with the rotational temperature being in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding environment at ~300 K.
