Abstract

We present a detailed study of interspecies Feshbach resonances of the bosonic 23Na+^{23}\mathrm{Na}+39K^{39}\mathrm{K} mixture for magnetic fields up to 750G750 \, \mathrm{G} in various collision channels. A total of fourteen Feshbach resonances are reported, as well as four zero crossings of the scattering length and three inelastic two-body loss features. We use the observed magnetic field locations of the resonant features together with the known data on 23Na+^{23}\mathrm{Na}+40K^{40}\mathrm{K} to refine the singlet and triplet ground state potentials of NaK and achieve a consistent description of Feshbach resonances for both, the Bose-Bose mixture of 23Na+^{23}\mathrm{Na}+39K^{39}\mathrm{K} as well as the Bose-Fermi mixture of 23Na+^{23}\mathrm{Na}+40K^{40}\mathrm{K}.
