Abstract We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of sodium atoms. The atoms were
trapped in a novel trap that employed both magnetic and optical forces. Evaporative cooling …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the concept of evaporative cooling of trapped
neutral atoms. The recent observations of Bose–Einstein condensation have shown …

We report observation of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a trapped, dilute gas of
atomic hydrogen. The condensate and normal gas are studied by two-photon spectroscopy …

We apply kinetic theory to the problem of evaporative cooling of a dilute collisional gas in a
trap. Assuming ''sufficient ergodicity''(phase-space distribution only a function of energy) and …

A comprehensive account of the phenomena that occur when simple gases interact with
surfaces, this text takes a fundamental perspective. Physical adsorption involves atomic or …

Quantum sensors based on coherent matter-waves are precise measurement devices
whose ultimate accuracy is achieved with Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) in extended …

We report Bose-Einstein condensation of Sr 84 in an optical dipole trap. Efficient laser
cooling on the narrow intercombination line and an ideal s-wave scattering length allow the …

This book completes the physical foundations and experimental techniques described in
volume 1 with an updated review of the accessory equipment indispensable in molecular …

Everyday we encounter the results of discoveries and achievements of quantum mechanics
and atomic physics which were made over the last century: be it the laser diode in a DVD …

Bose–Einstein condensation in a dilute gas of sodium atoms has been observed. The atoms
were trapped in an optically plugged magnetic trap or in a cloverleaf magnetic trap. Rf …
