研究目的
Investigating the binding energy of the least-bound vibrational level of the X 1Σ+g electronic ground state of the 86Sr2 dimer and its implications for atom interactions and Efimov states.
研究成果
The binding energy of the least-bound vibrational level of the 86Sr2 dimer was accurately measured, leading to an improved value of the s-wave scattering length. The large ac Stark shifts observed suggest the potential for optically tuning the 86Sr scattering length, offering new avenues for studying Efimov states and atom interactions.
研究不足
The study is limited by the precision of the binding energy measurement and the understanding of ac Stark shifts due to excitation lasers. The proximity of other excited states complicates the analysis of ac Stark shifts.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Two-photon photoassociation spectroscopy was used to probe the least-bound state of the ground molecular potential of 86Sr2. The experiment involved coupling colliding atoms to the least-bound state using two laser fields near resonance with an intermediate state bound in the 0u potential corresponding to the 1S0 + 3P1 asymptote.

Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Ultracold 86Sr atoms in a single-beam optical dipole trap were used. The sample temperature was set between 30 and 1000 nK, with typical atom numbers of several hundred thousand and peak densities up to 2×1012 cm?
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 1064-nm laser for the optical dipole trap, frequency-stabilized master laser for photoassociation beams, acousto-optic modulator for generating PA beams, and time-of-flight absorption imaging for measurement.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
After atoms equilibrated in the optical dipole trap, PA lasers were applied. The PA spectrum was obtained by varying one laser frequency while holding the other fixed, leading to atom loss from the trap which was measured after an exposure time.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The evolution of atom number with time was modeled to extract the molecular binding energy, considering collisional frequency shifts and ac Stark shifts.
