Breaking van der Waals molecules with magnetic fields

Chemical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

It is demonstrated that weakly bound van der Waals complexes can dissociate in a magnetic field through coupling between the Zeeman levels. The Zeeman predissociation process is shown to be efficient and it can be controlled by external magnetic fields.
