Strongly dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate of dysprosium

M Lu, NQ Burdick, SH Youn, BL Lev - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
We report the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of the most magnetic element, dysprosium.
The Dy BEC is the first for an open f-shell lanthanide (rare-earth) element and is produced …

Bose-Einstein condensation of erbium

K Aikawa, A Frisch, M Mark, S Baier, A Rietzler… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
We report on the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation of erbium atoms and on the
observation of magnetic Feshbach resonances at low magnetic fields. By means of …

Bose-Einstein condensation of chromium

A Griesmaier, J Werner, S Hensler, J Stuhler, T Pfau - Physical Review Letters, 2005 - APS
We report on the generation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a gas of chromium atoms,
which have an exceptionally large magnetic dipole moment and therefore underlie …

Stable Bose-Einstein Condensates with Widely Tunable Interactions

SL Cornish, NR Claussen, JL Roberts, EA Cornell… - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
Bose-Einstein condensation has been achieved in a magnetically trapped sample of 85 Rb
atoms. Long-lived condensates of up to 10 4 atoms have been produced by using a …

Bose-Einstein condensation in a tightly confining dc magnetic trap

MO Mewes, MR Andrews, NJ Van Druten, DM Kurn… - Physical Review Letters, 1996 - APS
Bose-Einstein condensation of sodium atoms has been observed in a novel “cloverleaf” trap.
This trap combines tight confinement with excellent optical access, using only dc …

Rapid production of Bose-Einstein condensates in a combined magnetic and optical potential

YJ Lin, AR Perry, RL Compton, IB Spielman… - Physical Review A …, 2009 - APS
We describe an apparatus for quickly and simply producing R 87 b Bose-Einstein
condensates. It is based on a magnetic quadrupole trap and a red-detuned optical dipole …

Bose-Einstein condensation in a quadrupole-Ioffe-configuration trap

T Esslinger, I Bloch, TW Hänsch - Physical Review A, 1998 - APS
Abstract We demonstrate Bose-Einstein condensation of rubidium atoms in a simple low-
power magnetic trap. This trap combines the quadrupole with the Ioffe configuration (QUIC …

All-optical formation of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate

MD Barrett, JA Sauer, MS Chapman - Physical review letters, 2001 - APS
We have created a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87 Rb atoms directly in an optical
trap. We employ a quasielectrostatic dipole force trap formed by two crossed CO 2 laser …

Bose–Einstein condensation of metastable helium in a bi-planar quadrupole Ioffe configuration trap

RG Dall, AG Truscott - Optics Communications, 2007 - Elsevier
Using a novel magnetic trapping geometry we have evaporatively cooled metastable helium
atoms to form a Bose–Einstein condensate containing approximately one million atoms. This …

Bose-Einstein condensation of strontium
