Abstract

We point out some logical inconsistencies in the model proposed in [Phys. Rev. A 71, 043604 (2005)] as well as in the calculations performed on it. The proposed model is not able to describe Feshbach resonances in optical lattices.

Journal Article Dickerscheid, D. B. M. ; Stoof, H. T. C. ; Oosten, D. van - Physical Review. A

We show that the Comment by Diener and Ho [Phys. Rev. A 73, 017601 (2006)] is based on the misunderstanding that the Hamiltonian used by Dickerscheid et al. to describe Feshbach resonances in an optical lattice is a microscopic Hamiltonian as opposed to an effective Hamiltonian.

Optical Feshbach resonances of alkaline-earth-metal atoms in a one- or two-dimensional optical lattice

Journal Article Naidon, Pascal ; Julienne, Paul S. ; Joint Quantum Institute, National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive Stop 8423, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-8423 - Physical Review. A

Motivated by a recent experiment by Zelevinsky et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 203201 (2006)], we present the theory for photoassociation and optical Feshbach resonances of atoms confined in a tight one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) optical lattice. In the case of an alkaline-earth-metal intercombination resonance, the narrow natural width of the line makes it possible to observe clear manifestations of the dimensionality, as well as some sensitivity to the scattering length of the atoms. Among possible applications, a 2D lattice may be used to increase the spectroscopic resolution by about one order of magnitude. Furthermore, a 1D lattice inducesmore »« less

Feshbach resonances in an optical lattice

Journal Article Dickerscheid, D.B.M. ; Oosten, D. van ; Al Khawaja, U. ; ... - Physical Review. A

We present a theory for ultracold atomic gases in an optical lattice near a Feshbach resonance. In the single-band approximation the theory describes atoms and molecules that can both tunnel through the lattice. Moreover, an avoided crossing between the two-atom and the molecular states occurs at every site. We determine the microscopic parameters of the generalized Hubbard model that describes this physics, using the experimentally known parameters of the Feshbach resonance in the absence of the optical lattice. As an application we also calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram of an atomic Bose gas in an optical lattice.

Cyclic lattice Feshbach resonances

Journal Article Zhou Fei - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In this paper, we illustrate the possible cyclic fermion pairing states across Feshbach resonances in optical lattices. In cyclic fermion pairing, the pairing amplitude exhibits an oscillatory behavior as the detuning varies. We estimate the quasiparticle gaps in different regimes of the resonances.

Creating Ground State Molecules with Optical Feshbach Resonances in Tight Traps

Journal Article Koch, Christiane P. ; Department of Physical Chemistry and Fritz Haber Research Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem 91904 ; Masnou-Seeuws, Francoise ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We propose to create ultracold ground state molecules in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by adiabatic crossing of an optical Feshbach resonance. We envision a scheme where the laser intensity and possibly also frequency are linearly ramped over the resonance. Our calculations for {sup 87}Rb show that for sufficiently tight traps it is possible to avoid spontaneous emission while retaining adiabaticity, and conversion efficiencies of up to 50% can be expected.
