    • Bound States of Guided Matter Waves: An Atom and a Charged Wire 

      Hau, Lene Vestergaard; Burns, Michael M.; Golovchenko, Jene A. (American Physical Society, 1992)
      We argue that it is possible to bind a neutral atom in stable orbits around a wire charged by a time-varying sinusoidal voltage. Both classical and quantum-mechanical theories for this system are discussed, and a unified ...

    • Nanoscale dynamics of Joule heating and bubble nucleation in a solid-state nanopore 

      Levine, Edlyn Victoria; Burns, Michael M.; Golovchenko, Jene Andrew (American Physical Society (APS), 2016)
      We present a mathematical model for Joule heating of an electrolytic solution in a nanopore. The model couples the electrical and thermal dynamics responsible for rapid and extreme superheating of the electrolyte within ...

    • Near-Resonant Spatial Images of Confined Bose-Einstein Condensates in a 4-Dee Magnetic Bottle 

      Hau, Lene Vestergaard; Busch, B. D.; Liu, Chien; Dutton, Zachary; Burns, Michael M.; Golovchenko, Jene A. (American Physical Society, 1998)
      We present quantitative measurements of the spatial density profile of Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms confined in a 4-Dee magnetic bottle. The condensates are imaged in transmission with near-resonant laser ...

    • Optical binding 

      Burns, Michael M.; Fournier, Jean-Marc R.; Golovchenko, Jene Andrew (American Physical Society (APS), 1989)
      Significant forces between dielectric objects can be induced by intense optical fields. We discuss the origin of these forces which are very long range and oscillate in sign at the optical wavelength. A consequence is that ...

    • Supersymmetry and the Binding of a Magnetic Atom to a Filamentary Current 

      Hau, Lene Vestergaard; Golovchenko, Jene A.; Burns, Michael M. (American Physical Society, 1995)
      We suggest the binding of neutral atoms to a current carrying wire through the interaction between the atomic magnetic dipole moment and the wire's magnetic field. The theoretical description is based upon an extension ...

    • Waveguide for cold atoms: Spin-1 magnetic particles and a filamentary current 

      Berg-Sorensen, Kirstine; Burns, Michael M.; Golovchenko, Jene Andrew; Hau, Lene V. (American Physical Society (APS), 1996)
      We consider a waveguide for cold neutral atoms with a magnetic moment proportional to their spin angular momentum. The waveguide consists of a thin wire carrying a constant current. For the spin-1 case, we find bound states ...
