Experiments with Quantum Gases of Lithium

[9732632] hulet这项工作是对锂-7原子量子简并俘获气体研究的延续。它扩展了先前对PI的观察，即在这种负散射长度系统中可能发生缩聚，尽管缩聚物中的原子数量有限。它的重点是一系列的实验，以探索机制，这一限制是强制执行和检查系统的动态行为。第二项努力将集中在寻找锂-6原子冷却样品中可能的bcs型转变。

9732632HuletThis work is a continuation of investigations of quantum degenerate trapped gases of lithium-7 atoms. It expands upon the previous observation of the PI that condensation is possible in this negative-scattering-length system, although with a limited number of atoms in the condensate. It focus on a series of experiments to explore the mechanisms by which this limit is enforced and to examine the dynamical behavior of the system. A second effort will focus on looking for a possible BCS-type transition in a cooled sample of lithium-6 atoms.
