Tunable Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold molecules in 2Σ states with alkali-metal atoms (2023)
Journal Article
Bird, R. C., Tarbutt, M. R., & Hutson, J. M. (2023). Tunable Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold molecules in 2Σ states with alkali-metal atoms. Physical Review Research, 5, https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.5.023184

We consider the magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances that may exist in ultracold mixtures of molecules in 2Σmstates and alkali-metal atoms. We focus on Rb +CaF as a prototype system. There are likely to be Feshbach resonances analogous to those b... Read More about Tunable Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold molecules in 2Σ states with alkali-metal atoms.

Formation of Ultracold Molecules by Merging Optical Tweezers (2023)
Journal Article
Ruttley, D. K., Guttridge, A., Spence, S., Bird, R. C., Le Sueur, C. R., Hutson, J. M., & Cornish, S. L. (2023). Formation of Ultracold Molecules by Merging Optical Tweezers. Physical Review Letters, 130(22), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.130.223401

We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are initially predominantly in the motional ground states of their respectiv... Read More about Formation of Ultracold Molecules by Merging Optical Tweezers.
