31 Oct 2002 | Subject: | Atomic Physics; Chemical Physics; Soft Condensed Matter; Statistical Mechanics | physics.atom-ph cond-mat.soft cond-mat.stat-mech physics.chem-ph quant-ph | Abstract: | We examine collective magnetoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), focusing on rapid adiabatic passage from atoms to molecules induced by a sweep of the magnetic field across a wide (>~ 10 G) Feshbach resonance in 85Rb. This problem raises an interest because strong magnetoassociation is expected to favor the creation of molecular-dissociated atom pairs over the formation of molecular BEC [Javanainen and Mackie, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 090403 (2002)]. Nevertheless, the conversion to atom pairs is found to depend on the direction of the sweep, so that a system initially above threshold (open dissociation channel) may in fact give near-complete conversion to molecules. | Source: | arXiv, physics/0210131 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
