Collisions with background atoms are known to induce a significant shift in the frequency of state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks and contribute to state decoherence in cold atom experiments. The effects of these collisions can be…
We investigate rotational state changes in a single collision of diatomic molecular ions, polar or apolar, with an atomic ion. Rotational state changes may occur since the angular degree of freedom of the molecular ions interacts with the…
Samarium hexaboride is an anomaly, having many exotic and seemingly mutually incompatible properties. It was proposed to be a mixed-valent semiconductor, and later - a topological Kondo insulator, and yet has a Fermi surface despite being…
