Abstract
We report the creation of dual-species Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of Li and Cs. These BECs are formed in a bichromatic optical dipole trap created with 1550-nm and 780-nm laser beams. During the production process, an external magnetic field of 886~G is applied to adjust the scattering lengths to , , and . These scattering lengths allow for efficient evaporation and sympathetic cooling. The dual-species BECs are typically produced with Cs atoms and Li atoms. This quantum degenerate mixture of Li and Cs provides an ideal platform for exploring phenomena such as polarons and Efimov trimers, as well as for creating ground-state LiCs molecules.
