Phys. Rev. A 71, 031402(R) (2005) [3 pages]Evaporative cooling of magnetically trapped atomic molybdenum
We have magnetically trapped and evaporatively cooled atomic molybdenum. Using a cryogenic helium buffer gas, 2×1010 molybdenum atoms are loaded into a magnetic trap at an initial temperature of 500 mK. The molybdenum atoms undergo two-body decay with a measured inelastic rate constant of gin=(1.2±0.6)×10−12 cm3 s−1 for the initial conditions after loading. The molybdenum atoms are cooled by adiabatic expansion and forced evaporation to 200 mK. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
