Linear response of a periodically driven thermal dipolar gas
Linear response of a periodically driven thermal dipolar gas
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of an ultracold, nondegenerate dipolar gas of $^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ atoms in a cylindrically symmetric harmonic trap. To do so, we investigate the normal modes and linear response of the gas when driven by means of periodic modulations to the trap axial frequency. We find that the …
