Title: Thermal atom-ion collisions in a K- ${Yb}^{+}$ hybrid system

Abstract

We introduce experimental studies of atom-ion collisions using buffer-gas cooled, trapped ytterbium (Yb ⁺) ions immersed in potassium (K) vapor. The range of the collisional temperature is on the order of several hundred kelvin (thermal regime). We have determined various collisional rate coefficients of the Yb ⁺ ion per K-atom number density. We find the upper bounds of charge-exchange rate coefficients κ _ce to be (12.7 ± 1.6) × 10 ^-14 cm ³s ^-1 for K- ¹⁷¹Yb ⁺ and (5.3 ± 0.7) × 10 ^-14 cm ³s ^-1 for K- ¹⁷²Yb ⁺. For both isotopes, the spin-destruction rate coefficient κ _sd has an upper bound at (1.46 ± 0.77) × 10 ^-9 cm ³s ^-1. The spin-exchange rate coefficient κ _se is measured to be (1.64 ± 0.51) × 10 ^-9 cm ³s ^-1. The relatively low charge-exchange rate observed here demonstrates the advantage of using K atoms to sympathetically cool Yb ⁺ ions and the relatively high spin-exchange rate may benefit research work in quantum metrology and quantum information processing on an atom-ion platform using K atoms and Yb ⁺ ions.

Single-ion properties of the $S_{eff}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ XY antiferromagnetic pyrochlores $Na A^{'} {Co}_{2} F_{7}$ ( $A^{'} = {Ca}^{2 +}, {Sr}^{2 +}$ )

Journal Article Ross, Kathryn A. ; Brown, J. M. ; Cava, R. J. ; ... - Physical Review B

The antiferromagnetic pyrochlore material NaCaCo ₂F ₇ is a thermal spin liquid over a broad temperature range (≈140 K down to T _F=2.4 K), in which magnetic correlations between Co ²⁺ dipole moments explore a continuous manifold of antiferromagnetic XY states. The thermal spin liquid is interrupted by spin freezing at a temperature that is ~2% of the mean-field interaction strength, leading to short-range static XY clusters with distinctive relaxation dynamics. Here we report the low-energy inelastic neutron scattering response from the related compound NaSrCo ₂F ₇, confirming that it hosts the same static and dynamic spin correlations as NaCaComore »« less

Charge asymmetry in the processes e ⁺e ^– → μ ⁺μ ^–γ and e ⁺e ^– → π ⁺π ^–γ is measured using 232 fb ^–1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at e ⁺e ^– center-of-mass energies near 10.58 GeV. An observable is introduced and shown to be very robust against detector asymmetries while keeping a large sensitivity to the physical charge asymmetry that results from the interference between initial- and final-state radiation (FSR). The asymmetry is determined as a function of the invariant mass of the final-state tracks from production threshold to a few GeV/c ². Itmore »« less
