Complexes formed in collisions between ultracold alkali-metal diatomic molecules and atoms (2021)
Journal Article
Frye, M. D., & Hutson, J. M. (2021). Complexes formed in collisions between ultracold alkali-metal diatomic molecules and atoms. New Journal of Physics, 23(12), Article 125008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac3ff8

We explore the properties of three-atom complexes of alkali-metal diatomic molecules with alkali-metal atoms, which may be formed in ultracold collisions. We estimate the densities of vibrational states at the energy of atom–diatom collisions, and fi...

Molecule-molecule and atom-molecule collisions with ultracold RbCs molecules (2021)
Journal Article
Gregory, P. D., Blackmore, J. A., Frye, M. D., Fernley, L. M., Bromley, S. L., Hutson, J. M., & Cornish, S. L. (2021). Molecule-molecule and atom-molecule collisions with ultracold RbCs molecules. New Journal of Physics, 23, Article 125004. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac3c63

Understanding ultracold collisions involving molecules is of fundamental importance for current experiments, where inelastic collisions typically limit the lifetime of molecular ensembles in optical traps. Here we present a broad study of optically t... Read More about Molecule-molecule and atom-molecule collisions with ultracold RbCs molecules.

Magnetic Feshbach resonances in collisions of 23Na40K with 40K (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Frye, M. D., Su, Z., Cao, J., Liu, L., Zhang, D., …Pan, J. (2021). Magnetic Feshbach resonances in collisions of 23Na40K with 40K. New Journal of Physics, 23(11), Article 115010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac3318

We present measurements of more than 80 magnetic Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold 23Na40K with 40K. We assign quantum numbers to a group of low-field resonances and show that they are probably due to long-range states of the triatomic c...

Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms (2021)
Journal Article
Jurgilas, S., Chakraborty, A., Rich, C. J. H., Sauer, B. E., Frye, M. D., Hutson, J. M., & Tarbutt, M. R. (2021). Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms. New Journal of Physics, 23(7), Article 075004. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ac0c9a

We study inelastic collisions between CaF molecules and 87Rb atoms in a dual-species magneto-optical trap. The presence of atoms increases the loss rate of molecules from the trap. By measuring the loss rates and density distributions, we determine a... Read More about Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms.

Collisions between Ultracold Molecules and Atoms in a Magnetic Trap (2021)
Journal Article
Jurgilas, S., Chakraborty, A., Rich, C., Caldwell, L., Williams, H., Fitch, N., …Tarbutt, M. (2021). Collisions between Ultracold Molecules and Atoms in a Magnetic Trap. Physical Review Letters, 126(15), Article 153401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.126.153401

We prepare mixtures of ultracold CaF molecules and Rb atoms in a magnetic trap and study their inelastic collisions. When the atoms are prepared in the spin-stretched state and the molecules in the spin-stretched component of the first rotationally e...
