The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969 (2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. The …
In this work, the first implementation of direct laser cooling of barium monofluoride (BaF) molecules using sub-Doppler forces is presented. This species is a promising candidate for …
In recent years, considerable effort has been made in the nuclear and molecular physics community [1] to study diatomic molecules containing unstable, heavy, and deformed nuclei …
