Bose-Einstein condensation of 85Rb by direct evaporation in an optical dipole trap (2012)
Journal Article
Marchant, A., Händel, S., Hopkins, S., Wiles, T., & Cornish, S. (2012). Bose-Einstein condensation of 85Rb by direct evaporation in an optical dipole trap. Physical Review A, 85(5), Article 053647. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.85.053647

We report a simple method for the creation of Bose-Einstein condensates of 85Rb by direct evaporation in a crossed optical dipole trap. The independent control of the trap frequencies and magnetic bias field afforded by the trapping scheme permits fu...

Magnetic transport apparatus for the production of ultracold atomic gases in the vicinity of a dielectric surface (2012)
Journal Article
Händel, S., Marchant, A., Wiles, T., Hopkins, S., & Cornish, S. (2012). Magnetic transport apparatus for the production of ultracold atomic gases in the vicinity of a dielectric surface. Review of Scientific Instruments, 83(1), Article 013105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3676161

We present an apparatus designed for studies of atom-surface interactions using quantum degenerate gases of 85Rb and 87Rb in the vicinity of a room temperature dielectric surface. The surface to be investigated is a super-polished face of a glass Dov...
