Researchers Report Findings on Trapping and Cooling Molecules

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers have long been interested in the ability to trap and cool molecules to facilitate improvements in ultracold molecular physics and in molecular spectroscopy. Scientists use methods such as laser cooling and cryogenic surface thermalization, but these techniques are not applicable to molecules because of their complex internal energy level structure. Now a group of Harvard University researchers in Cambridge, Mass., has demonstrated a loading technique based on elastic collisions with a cold buffer gas. The team has successfully trapped atomic chromium and europium and demonstrated...Read full article
