9 The hybrid trap

10 Bichromatic optical dipole trap U 532 (r = 0) = U 1064 (r = 0)

11 Bichromatic optical dipole trap Real potential:

12 Collisions at µk-temperatures Pure s-wave collisions (p-wave threshold ~ 60 µk) Yb BIODT Rb MT defined spatial overlap between Yb and Rb cloud

13 Thermalization between 170 Yb, 172 Yb, 173 Yb, 174 Yb, 176 Yb and 87 Rb strong istotope dependence

14 Thermalization between 170 Yb, 172 Yb, 173 Yb, 174 Yb, 176 Yb and 87 Rb quantitative analysis: thermalization rate Yb-Rb scattering cross section overlap integral Th n YbRb YbRb in this trap geometry: n YbRb hard to control only relative values for YbRb can be reliably deduced

15 Thermalization between 170 Yb, 172 Yb, 173 Yb, 174 Yb, 176 Yb and 87 Rb 170 Yb does not thermalize at all (extremely) small elastic scattering cross section for this isotope

18 Thermalization between 170 Yb, 172 Yb, 173 Yb, 174 Yb, 176 Yb and 87 Rb better control of n YbRb YbRb = 4 a 2 scattering length: a ~ 10 a 0 n Rb cm -3 n Rb cm -3 P mw P mw

19 Thermalization between 170 Yb, 172 Yb, 173 Yb, 174 Yb, 176 Yb and 87 Rb 174 Yb thermalizes instantaneously (extremly) large elastic scattering cross section for this isotope

20 174 Yb 87 Rb mixture at large n Rb n Rb cm -3 n Rb cm Yb thermalized with 87 Rb trap frequencies: r ~ 1 khz, z ~ 10 Hz?

21 174 Yb 87 Rb mixture at large n Rb fast loss of 174 Yb attributed to large 3-body loss

23 Spatial separation of 174 Yb and 87 Rb T 3 µk N Yb 10 5 N Rb (a) 7 x 10 5 (b) 3 x 10 6 (c) 7 x 10 6 increasing Rb density separation of the 174 Yb-cloud and the (smaller) 87 Rb-cloud located in the trap center observed at temperatures µk due to N Yb «N Rb, no detectable effect on 87 Rb unusually strong interactions between 87 Rb and 174 Yb F. Baumer et al., PRA 83, (R) (2011)

24 Diffusion model Rb cloud optical trap large YbRb motion of Yb is slowed large K 3 loss of Yb due to Rb+Rb+Yb collisions primarily in trap center Slowed, spatially dependent Yb loss hole in Yb distribution
