Doyle. 2005. “Evaporative Cooling of Magnetically Trapped Atomic Molybdenum.” Physical Review A 71 (3) (March 11). doi:10.1103/physreva.71.031402.1050-2947http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:28426338We have magnetically trapped and evaporatively cooled atomic molybdenum. Using a cryogenic helium buffer gas, 2×10^10 molybdenum atoms are loaded into a magnetic trap at an initial temperature of 500 mK. We measure a molybdenum inelastic rate constant of gin = (1.2±0.6)×10^−12cm^3s^ −1 for the initial conditions after loading. The molybdenum atoms are cooled by adiabatic expansion and forced evaporation to 200 mK.en-USJournal Article2016-09-1210.1103/physreva.71.031402
