Determination of the scattering length of erbium atoms
Determination of the scattering length of erbium atoms
An accurate knowledge of the scattering length is fundamental in ultracold quantum gas experiments and essential for the characterization of the system as well as for a meaningful comparison to theoretical models. Here, we perform a careful characterization of the $s$-wave scattering length ${a}_{\mathrm{s}}$ for the four highest-abundance isotopes of …
