论文摘要
我们证明并表征了Zeeman-Sisyphus(Zs)Ytterbium单羟化束(YBOH)的减速。我们的方法结合了大型磁场($ \ sim $ 2.5 t)和光旋转过渡到减速分子,而每个分子仅散射$ \ sim $ 10光子。我们研究了激发电子状态之间与内部分子扰动有关的挑战,并讨论了用于克服这些挑战的方法,包括使用微波和光学转变的修改后的ZS减速器。
We demonstrate and characterize Zeeman-Sisyphus (ZS) deceleration of a beam of ytterbium monohydroxide (YbOH). Our method uses a combination of large magnetic fields ($\sim$ 2.5 T) and optical spin-flip transitions to decelerate molecules while scattering only $\sim$ 10 photons per molecule. We study the challenges associated with the presence of internal molecular perturbations among the excited electronic states and discuss the methods used to overcome these challenges, including a modified ZS decelerator using microwave and optical transitions.
