Magnetic Trapping of an Atomic 55Mn-52Cr Mixture. Physical Review A 71, no. 2. doi:10.1103/physreva.71.025602.1050-2947http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:28446976Atomic manganese 55Mn and chromium 52Cr are simultaneously loaded and confined in a magnetic trap. Using a cryogenic 3 He buffer gas, 1011 manganese and 1012 chromium atoms are trapped at an initial temperature of 600 mK. The buffer gas is then pumped away, thermally isolating the sample. The Mn-Cr interspecies inelastic rate constant is measured to be GMn,Cr=1.5s±0.2d310−13 cm3 /s.en-USJournal Article2016-09-1310.1103/PhysRevA.71.025602
