Sympathetic cooling in a mixture of diamagnetic and paramagnetic atoms
Résumé
We have experimentally realized a hybrid trap for ultracold paramagnetic rubidium and diamagnetic ytterbium atoms by combining a bichromatic optical dipole trap for ytterbium with a Ioffe-Pritchard-type magnetic trap for rubidium. In this hybrid trap, we have investigated sympathetic cooling for five different ytterbium isotopes through elastic collisions with rubidium. A strong dependence of the thermalization rate on the mass of the specific ytterbium isotope was observed.
