Magnetoelectrostatic Trapping of Ground State OH Molecules
Magnetoelectrostatic Trapping of Ground State OH Molecules
We report magnetic confinement of neutral, ground state OH at a density of approximately 3 x 10(3) cm(-3) and temperature of approximately 30 mK. An adjustable electric field sufficiently large to polarize the OH is superimposed on the trap in various geometries, making an overall potential arising from both Zeeman …
