Collapse times of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (2008)
Journal Article
Ticknor, C., Parker, N., Melatos, A., Cornish, S., O'Dell, D., & Martin, A. (2008). Collapse times of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. Physical Review A, 78(6), Article 061607. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.78.061607

We investigate the time taken for global collapse by a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. Two semianalytical approaches and exact numerical integration of the mean-field dynamics are considered. The semianalytical approaches are based on a Gaussian an... Read More about Collapse times of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates.

Modulation transfer spectroscopy in atomic rubidium (2008)
Journal Article

We report modulation transfer spectroscopy on the D2 transitions in 85Rb and 87Rb using a simple home-built electro-optic modulator (EOM). We show that both the gradient and amplitude of modulation transfer spectroscopy signals, for the 87Rb F = 2 →... Read More about Modulation transfer spectroscopy in atomic rubidium.

Optimization of sub-Doppler DAVLL on the rubidium D2 line (2008)
Journal Article
Harris, M., Cornish, S., Tripathi, A., & Hughes, I. (2008). Optimization of sub-Doppler DAVLL on the rubidium D2 line. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 41(8), Article 085401. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/41/8/085401

We discuss the physics of sub-Doppler DAVLL spectroscopy, which employs a pump beam with an axial magnetic field to induce dichroism in an atomic vapour. The dichroism is measured by a counterpropagating probe beam, while the pump generates sub-Doppl... Read More about Optimization of sub-Doppler DAVLL on the rubidium D2 line.

Collisions of bright solitary matter waves (2008)
Journal Article
Parker, N., Martin, A., Cornish, S., & Adams, C. (2008). Collisions of bright solitary matter waves. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 41(4), Article 045303. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/41/4/045303

The collisions of three-dimensional bright solitary matter waves formed from atomic Bose–Einstein condensates are shown to exhibit rich behaviour. Collisions range from being elastic to completely destructive due to the onset of collapse during the i... Read More about Collisions of bright solitary matter waves.

Magnetic trapping of a cold Rb-Cs atomic mixture (2008)
Journal Article
Harris, M., Tierney, P., & Cornish, S. (2008). Magnetic trapping of a cold Rb-Cs atomic mixture. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 41(5), Article 059803. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/41/5/059803

We present an apparatus for the study of an ultracold gaseous atomic mixture of 133Cs and 87Rb. The mixture is prepared using a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system in which a two-species pyramid MOT acts as a source of cold atoms for a `science'...
