We calculate bound and scattering properties of a system of two neutral atoms and an ion near an atom-ion Feshbach resonance. Our results indicate that long-range atom-ion interactions lead to significant deviations from universal behavior…

The purpose of this paper is to show that, by combining Feshbach resonances with external confining potentials, the energy scale factor of neighboring Efimov states can be tremendously reduced. The Efimov conditions can be reached for…

Ultracold atomic gases provide a controllable system to study the inelastic processes for three-body systems, where the three-body recombination rate depends on the scattering length scaling. Such scalings have been confirmed in bosonic…
