Étude théorique de collisions inélastiques atome – diatome sous l’action d’un champ magnétique : applications en Astrochimie et au domaine du refroidissement et du piégeage moléculaires / Theoretical studies of atom - diatom inelastic collisions under magnetic field : applications in Astrochemistry and in the field of molecular cooling and trapping

Turpin, Florence 17 December 2010 (has links)
D’immenses progrès ont été réalisés ces dernières années dans le champ de production de condensats de Bose-Einstein moléculaires pour l’obtention et le piégeage de molécules ultrafroides ioniques et neutres. Ces échantillons de molécules ultrafroides trouvent des applications dans des domaines très variés tels que les mesures pectroscopiques de haute précision ou bien encore le stockage de l’information quantique. La volonté d’optimiser les procédés de refroidissement et des techniques de piégeage a stimulé un grand nombre d’études théoriques. La plupart de ces études sont dédiées au refroidissement des molécules en collision avec un gaz tampon (3 He). La surface d’énergie potentielle de l’état fondamental du complexe de van der Waals He–MnH(X7Σ+) est présentée, suivie du calcul des états liés correspondant au complexe ainsi que l’étude de la relaxation Zeeman associée au système en fonction du champ magnétique appliqué. Dans le domaine de l’astrochimie, l’étude de la désexcitation rotationnelle de CH+ en collision avec l’hélium est également présentée. / Tremendous progress in experimental production and trapping of ultracold neutral and ionic molecules has been achieved over the past few years which even allowed the production of molecular Bose–Einstein condensates. These ultracold molecules samples have potential applications in many different fields, such as precision spectroscopic measurements or quantum information storage and processing. The optimization of the cooling processes and the trapping techniques also stimulated a great number of theoretical studies. Many of them are dedicated to inelastic scattering of molecules in collisions with 3He atoms (buffer gas cooling method). The potential energy surface of the ground state of the He–MnH(X7Σ+) van der Waals complex is presented, followed by the calculations of the bound states of this system and the Zeeman relaxation in function of the magnetic field. In the field of astrochemistry, a quantum mechanical investigation of rotational energy transfer in cold collisions of CH+ with 4He atoms is presented.

Ultracold collisions in traps

Grishkevich, Sergey 18 March 2010 (has links)
Die ultrakalte Atom- und Molekülephysik, zu welcher man zum Beispiel bei der Bose-Einstein-Kondensation von verdünnten Gasen Zugang hat, wurde untersucht. In solchen Systemen dominieren Zwei-Körper-Stöße und ihre detaillierte Untersuchung ist eines der zentralen Themen dieser Arbeit. Diese wurden durchgeführt unter Berücksichtigung von elementaren chemischen Reaktionen, Photoassoziation und magnetischen Feshbach-Resonanzen. Weiterhin wurden Untersuchungen von Atomen in optischen Gittern durchgeführt. Die Viel-Teilchen-Systeme wurden nicht nur mit dem üblichen mean-field Ansatz behandelt, sondern auch darüber hinausgehend, um die voll korrelierte Bewegung zu simulieren. / The ultracold atomic and molecular physics as it is accessible, e.g., in Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute gases was investigated. In such systems two-body collisions are dominant and their detailed study is one of the central topics of this work. They were done considering elementary chemical reactions as photoassociation, and magnetic Feshbach resonances. Additionally, studies of atoms in optical lattice sites were carried out. The many-body systems were not only considered within the usually adopted mean-field approach but also beyond that in order to simulate the fully correlated motion.

New experimental system to study coupled vortices in a two-species Bose-Einstein condensate 23Na-41K with tunable interactions / Novo sistema experimental para a estudo de vórtices acoplados em um condensado de Bose-Einstein de duas espécies atômicas 23Na-41K com interação variável

Castilho, Patricia Christina Marques 20 April 2017 (has links)
Two-component fluids can be miscible (if they overlap in space) or immiscible (if they remain phase-separated). In the context of trapped two-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), these miscibility regions can only be fully characterize if one considers the interspecies interaction, the mass ratio and the number of atoms in each species. The dynamics of coupled vortices is different for each miscibility region and exotic vortices configurations (such as, square vortex lattices, \"vortex sheets\", skyrmions, etc.) are expected to occur. In this thesis, we present the construction of a new experimental system able to produce a two-species Bose-Einstein condensate of 23Na-41K atoms with tunable interspecies interactions and study the dynamics of coupled vortices in the different miscibility regimes. The BEC of sodium atoms obtained first in a Plug trap and later, in a crossed optical dipole trap, is fully characterized as well as the cold atomic cloud of potassium atoms produced by means of a Gray molasses cooling procedure. In the crossed optical dipole trap, the vortices will be nucleated with the use of a stirring beam. Therefore, in the end of this thesis, we present the stirring beam setup and its characterization prior aligning it into the 23Na BEC. / Um sistema de dois fluídos pose ser miscível (se os fluídos ocupam a mesma região do espaço) ou imiscível (se eles permanecem separados). No caso de condesados de Bose-Einstein (do inglês, \"Bose-Einstein condensate\" - BEC) de duas espécies atômicas aprisionados, as regiões de miscibilidade só podem ser completamentamente caracterizadas se considerarmos a interção entre as espécies, a razão entre as massas e o número de átomos em cada uma das espécies. A dinâmica de vórices é diferente para cada região de miscibilidade possibilitando a obtenção de configurações exóticas de vórtices (como, a produção de redes de vórtices quadradas, de folhas de vórtices (do inglês, \"vortex sheets\"), skyrmions, etc.). Nesta tese, apresentamos a construção de um novo sistema experimental capaz de produzir um condensado de Bose-Einstein de duas espécies atômicas, 23Na-41K, com interação variável e estudar a dinâmica de vórtices em diferentes regimes de miscibilidade. O condensado de átomos de sódio, inicialmente obtido na armadilha Plug e depois, em uma armadilha ótica cruzada, é completamentamente caracterizado assim como a nuvem atômica ultra-fria produzida a partir da técnica de molasses cinza (do inglês, \"Gray molasses\"). Na armadilha ótica, os vórtices serão produzidos a partir da utilização de um feixe de laser denominado stirring. Assim, ao final da tese, apresentamos o esquema ótico para a produção deste feixe de laser e a sua caracterização antes de alinhá-lo nos átomos.

Multi-photon ionization studies of correlation effects in excited atoms

Yimeng Wang (12432081) 19 April 2022 (has links)
<p>  Based on the multichannel quantum defect method and streamlined R-matrix treatment, this thesis studies the multi-photon ionization spectrum for atomic helium and barium, and explores the electronic correlations of these atoms. For the helium atom, the above-threshold-ionization spectra have been calculated, with two linearly polarized photons, two oppositely circularly polarized photons, and three linearly polarized photons. The propensity rules for the single-photon ionization and autoionizing decay have been extended into the multi-photon region, showing that the excitation rules are not always satisfied for the most prominent channel. In a separate project, based on the spontaneous two-photon decay of the helium 1s2s 1Se excited state that has a rather long lifetime, one can create photon pairs that are entangled in time, frequency, and polarization. Experimental schemes are proposed to use them as a laser source to ionize another helium. Finally, we considered the oneand two-photon pathway coherent control of atomic helium and barium near their autoionizing levels. For the helium atom, we proposed a controlling scheme that can flip 90 % of the photocurrent by a slight change of laser frequency. For the barium atom, we computed the phase lag between 6s1/2 and 5d3/2 ionization continua, which agrees with the experimental results that a previous phenomenological model failed to reproduce. Our treatment also develops formulas to describe the effects of hyperfine depolarization on multiphoton ionization processes, and it identifies resonances that had not been observed and classified in previous experiments. <br>  </p>

Gaz quantiques de potassium 39 à interactions contrôlables / Quantum gases of potassium 39 with tunable interactions

Fouche, Lauriane 17 September 2015 (has links)
Le potassium 39 est l'un des alcalins pour lesquels il est possible de contrôler les interactions entre atomes grâce à l'utilisation de résonances de Feshbach. Cette thèse présente un protocole rapide et performant de production de condensats de Bose-Einstein tout optiques de 39K. Notre technique s'appuie sur l'utilisation de mélasses grises permettant de refroidir suffisamment le nuage atomique pour charger directement un piège optique, ainsi que sur une phase d'évaporation optique réalisée au voisinage d'une résonance de Feshbach afin de contrôler le taux de collisions entre atomes. Des études dans divers mélanges de spins nous ont permis d'observer de nouvelles résonances de Feshbach en onde p ainsi qu'une résonance en onde d. Cette dernière, présentant des caractéristiques peu usuelles, a été étudiée plus en détails afin de comprendre les processus de collisions en jeu. Le modèle développé, faisant intervenir deux étapes de collision à deux corps, permet d'expliquer les résultats expérimentaux obtenus. Dans les gaz de Bose dégénérés de 39K produits, le contrôle des interactions au voisinage de la résonance de Feshbach à 560,7 Gauss pour les atomes de 39K dans l'état |F=1,mF=-1> nous a permis d'adresser différents problèmes physiques. Dans le cas d'interactions répulsives, nous étudions l'expansion d'un condensat de Bose-Einstein dans le crossover dimensionel 1D-3D tandis que pour des interactions attractives, nous formons des solitons brillants dans un piège optique unidimensionnel. Les perspectives d'étude de ces gaz de Bose dégénérés auto-confinés dans des milieux désordonnés sont également discutées. / Potassium 39 is an alkali allowing to control the interactions between atoms thanks to Feshbach resonances. This thesis presents a fast and efficient way to produce all-optical Bose-Einstein condensates of 39K. Our technique is first taking advantage of gray molasses cooling leading to a cold enough sample to directly load an optical trap. Then an optical evaporation is performed near a Feshbach resonance to control the collision rate. Studies in various spin mixtures have allowed us to observe new p-wave Feshbach resonances and a d-wave Feshbach resonance. The later presents unusual properties and has been studied in details to understand the collision processes involved. The model developped is a two stage model, each one of them involving a two body collision. It explains the experimental results obtained. In the produced 39K degenerate Bose gases, tuning interactions near the Feshbach resonance at 560,7 Gauss for the atoms in |F=1,mF=-1> has allowed us to adress different physical problems. For repulsive interactions, we study the expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the 1D-3D dimensional crossover. For attractive interactions we produce bright solitons in a one-dimensional optical trap. Perspectives concerning the study of those degenerate self-confined Bose gases in disordered media are also discussed.

Resonant spin dynamics and 3D-1D dimensional crossovers in ultracold Fermi gases / Dynamique de spin résonnante et croisements dimensionnels 3D-1D dans les gaz de Fermi ultra-froids

Reimann, Thomas 13 December 2018 (has links)
L’exploration de systèmes quantiques à N corps fortement corrélés représente l’un des domaines de recherche les plus stimulants de la physique contemporaine. Au cours des trente dernières années, les vapeurs diluées d’atomes neutres en suspension dans le vide et contrôlées par un laser sont devenues une plate-forme polyvalente et formidable pour l’étude de tels systèmes. L’intérêt principal réside dans la capacité d’ajuster arbitrairement la force de l’interaction atomique au moyen de résonances de Feshbach induites magnétiquement, ainsi que la possibilité de créer une large gamme de potentiels via des champs optiques précisément adaptés. Cette thèse présente les résultats récents de l’expérience FerMix, consacrée à l’étude des systèmes quantiques à plusieurs corps fermioniques à des températures ultra-basses utilisant les atomes alcalins 40K et 6Li. Les principaux résultats présentés dans ce texte sont doubles. Premièrement, nous rapportons la caractérisation expérimentale d’une nouvelle résonance de Feshbach (s,d)-wave du 40K, dont les résultats sont comparés aux prédictions théoriques correspondantes. En particulier, le spectre du taux de perte inélastique est déterminé pour différentes températures et profondeurs de piège, ce qui nous permet d’identifier les pertes en tant que processus à deux corps. De plus, il est confirmé que le canal d’entrée dominant est de type s-wave. À l’aide de modèles d’équation de taux, nous analysons le réchauffement observé de l’ensemble atomique et trouvons que le comportement est cohérent avec l’état lié prévu L = 2 présent dans le canal de sortie. Enfin, nous étudions expérimentalement la dynamique des populations de spin induite par les collisions inélastiques renforcées par résonance dans l’onde d, en observant un bon accord avec nos modèles numériques. En second lieu, nous résumons nos progrès dans l’étude des croisements dimensionnels entre le liquide de Tomonaga-Luttinger en 1D et le liquide de Landau-Fermi en 3D en utilisant les gaz de Fermi de 40K confinés dans un réseau optique à grand pas. Cela inclut à la fois les considérations de conception fondamentales et l’installation du matériel expérimental requis. / The exploration of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems represents one of the most challenging fields of research of contemporary physics. Over the past thirty years, dilute vapors of neutral atoms suspended in vacuum and controlled with laser light have become a versatile and powerful platform for the study of such systems. At the very heart lies the ability to arbitrarily tune the interaction strength by means of magnetically induced Feshbach resonances as well as the possibility to create a wide range of potential landscapes via precisely tailored optical fields. This thesis reports on the recent results of the FerMix experiment, which is dedicated to the study of fermionic quantum many-body-systems at ultralow temperatures using the Alkali atoms 40K and 6Li. The main results presented in this text are twofold. First, we report on the experimental characterization of a novel (s,d)-wave Feshbach resonance in 6Li, the results of which are compared to the corresponding theoretical predictions. In particular, the spectrum of the inelastic loss rate is determined for different temperatures and trap depths, which enables us to identify the losses as two-body processes. Moreover, the dominant entrance channel is confirmed to be s-wave in nature. Using rate equation models we analyze the observed heating of the atomic ensemble and find the behavior to be consistent with the predicted L = 2 bound state present in the exit channel. Finally, we investigate experimentally the dynamics of the spin populations driven by resonantly enhanced inelastic collisions in dwave, observing good agreement with our numerical models. Second, we summarize our progress towards the study of dimensional crossovers between the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid in 1D and the Landau-Fermi liquid in 3D using Fermi gases of 40K confined in a large spacing optical lattice. This includes both the fundamental design considerations as well as the implementation of the required experimental hardware.

Calcul de sections efficaces du système à trois corps (e − , e + , p̄) avec les équations de Faddeev-Merkuriev / Cross sections calculation of the (e − , e + , p̄) three body system with the Faddeev-Merkuriev equations

Valdes, Mateo 29 September 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse est consacrée au calcul de sections efficaces de réactions impliquant le système à trois corps (e − , e + , p̄) à des énergies représentatives de l’expérience GBAR. Deux approches théoriques ont été utilisées. La première, appelée méthode des canaux couplés, permet de traiter le système dans un cadre théorique plus simple. La deuxième, basée sur le formalisme rigoureux des équations de Faddeev-Merkuriev, a permis le calcul explicite des sections efficaces. Une des difficultés majeures provient de la dégénérescence accidentelle du premier état excité des atomes d’antihydrogène et de positronium. Le traitement de cette dégénérescence a été réalisé dans un premier temps dans le formalisme de canaux couplés avant d’être adapté au code des équations de Faddeev-Merkuriev. Dans ce document, nous discutons les sections efficaces dans le contexte de l’expérience GBAR et interprétons les phénomènes résonnants mis en évidence, les résonances de Feshbach et les oscillations de Gailitis-Damburg. / This thesis is dedicated to cross section calculations involving the three body system (e − , e + , p̄) at representative energies for the GBAR experiment. Two different theoretical formalisms have been used. The first one, the close coupling method, allows to study the system in a more simple and schematic theoretical frame. The second, based on the mathematically rigorous formalism of the Faddeev-Merkuriev equations, is used to compute the explicit cross sections. One of the major difficulties comes from the accidental degeneracy of the antihydrogen and positronium atoms first excited states. The treatment of this degeneracy has been realised, in a first time, with the close-coupling formalism before being adapted to the Faddeev-Merquriev equations code. In this document, we discuss the cross sections in the GBAR experiment frame and we construe the highlighted resonant phenomena, the Feshbach resonances and the Gailitis-Damburg oscillations.

Etude théorique de collisions inélastiques intervenant dans les domaines de la chimie froide et de l’astrochimie : applications au refroidissement et au piégeage moléculaire

Guillon, Grégoire 13 May 2009 (has links)
Cette thèse, motivée par le développement récent des techniques d’obtention de molécules froides, présente une étude théorique assez complète du système collisionnel ionique 3,4He + N2+. La relaxation rotationnelle de l’ion moléculaire a été décrite dans les régimes froid et ultrafroid, pour lesquels l’interaction spin-rotation du radical paramagnétique joue un rôle crucial. L’apparition de nouvelles résonances spécifiques de cette interaction a été analysée. Un autre phénomène directement lié à cette interaction, celui de la réorientation du moment magnétique associé au spin électronique du diatome induite par collision avec l’hélium, a été étudié d’abord en l’absence puis en présence d’un champ magnétique externe. Les mêmes méthodes de dynamique quantique inélastique ont été utilisées pour l’étude de la collision H2 + HF d’intérêt astrochimique. / Abstract
