Formation of ultracold LiCs molecules [PDF]

, 2006
We present the first observation of ultracold LiCs molecules. The molecules are formed in a two-species magneto-optical trap and detected by two-photon ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The production rate coefficient is found to be in the

Perspective: Ultracold molecules and the dawn of cold controlled chemistry [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2016
Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The proliferation of methods to create, cool, and confine them has allowed the investigation of a diverse array of molecular systems and chemical reactions at temperatures where only a

Triplet-singlet conversion in ultracold Cs$_2$ and production of ground state molecules

, 2010
We propose a process to convert ultracold metastable Cs$_2$ molecules in their lowest triplet state into (singlet) ground state molecules in their lowest vibrational levels.

Directional quantum-controlled chemistry: Generating aligned ultracold molecules via photoassociation

Physical Review A, 2017
Photoassociation of ultracold atoms is shown to lead to alignment of the product molecules along the excitation laser polarization axis. We theoretically investigate pulsed photoassociation of $^{87}Rb$ atoms into a specific weakly-bound level of the a $^3 _u^+$ metastable electronic state and find both stationary and time-dependent field-free ...

Scoop That Poop: Optimising Faecal Sample Pre‐Processing for Parasite Metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Molecular techniques such as DNA metabarcoding are increasingly used to characterise parasite communities. However, relatively few studies have examined how sample processing methods influence detection rates. We used faecal samples collected from free‐roaming horses to evaluate how parasite density and pre‐processing methods influenced ...

Ab initio electronic structure and prospects for the formation of ultracold calcium–alkali-metal-atom molecular ions

New Journal of Physics, 2020
Experiments with cold ion–atom mixtures have recently opened the way for the production and application of ultracold molecular ions. Here, in a comparative study, we theoretically investigate ground and several excited electronic states and prospects for

Creating ultracold molecules by collisions with ultracold rare gas atoms in an optical trap

, 2008
We study collisions of para-H$_2$ with five rare gas atomic species (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe) over the range from 1 K to 1 $\mu$ K and evaluate the feasibility of sympathetic cooling H$_2$ with ultracold ground state rare gas atoms co-trapped within a deep

Polaritonic quantum matter

Nanophotonics, Volume 14, Issue 23, Page 3723-3760, 02 November 2025.
Abstract Polaritons are quantum mechanical superpositions of photon states with elementary excitations in molecules and solids. The light–matter admixture causes a characteristic frequency‐momentum dispersion shared by all polaritons irrespective of the microscopic nature of material excitations that could entail charge, spin, lattice or orbital ...
