According to the Schiff theorem, an external electric field vanishes at atomic nucleus in a neutral atom in a stationary state, i.e. it is completely shielded by electrons. This makes a nuclear electric dipole moment (EDM) unobservable. We…
A method for calculating the self energy part of the Lamb shift is revisited. When the electron propagator in an external field is represented as an expansion in partial waves, the original method converges relatively slowly, requiring the…
Self-compensated comagnetometers, employing overlapping samples of spin-polarized alkali and noble gases (for example K-$^3$He) are promising sensors for exotic beyond-the-standard-model fields and high-precision metrology such as rotation…
Our work here presents the analytical expressions for a typical Ramsey interferometric sequence for a three- and a five-level system. The analytical expressions are derived starting from the first principals of unitary time evolution…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
The CHIANTI atomic database provides sets of assessed data used for simulating spectral observations of astrophysical plasmas. This article describes updates that will be released as version~10.1 of the database. A key component of CHIANTI…
For superheavy elements with atomic numbers $120\leq Z \leq 170$, the concept of the ground-state configuration is being reexamined. To this end, relativistic calculations of the electronic structure of the low-lying levels are carried out…
We present the design, implementation and detailed experimental characterization of two-dimensional Magneto-optical traps (MOT) of bosonic $^{23}$Na and $^{39}$K atoms for loading the cold atomic mixture in a dual-species 3DMOT with a large…
We report the production and spectroscopic characterization of strontium (I) phenoxide ($\mathrm{SrOC}_6\mathrm{H}_5$, or SrOPh) and variants featuring electron-withdrawing groups designed to suppress vibrational excitation during…
Designing closed, laser-induced optical cycling transitions in trapped atoms or molecules is useful for quantum information processing, precision measurement, and quantum sensing. Larger molecules that feature such closed transitions are…
The multiple-ionization energy difference of 163Ho and 163Dy atoms is evaluated for the ionization degree q = 30, 48, 56. The calculations are performed by means of the large-scale relativistic configuration interaction method combined with…
The atomic-vapor cell is a vital component for Rydberg atomic microwave sensors, and impacts on overall capability of Rydberg sensor. However, the conventional analysis approach on effect of vapor-cell length contains two implicit…
We report out-of-equilibrium stabilization of the collective spin of an atomic ensemble through autonomous feedback by a driven optical cavity. For a magnetic field applied at an angle to the cavity axis, dispersive coupling to the cavity…
We report on a scheme for loading dysprosium atoms into a narrow-line three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D MOT). Our innovative approach replaces the conventional Zeeman slower with a 2D MOT operating on the broad 421-nm line to…
Until recently, theoretical and experimental studies of photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) including non-dipole effects in atomic photo\-ionization have been performed mainly for the conventional plane-wave radiation. One can…
We present measurements of thermalized collisional rate coefficients for ultra-cold $^7$Li and $^{87}$Rb colliding with room-temperature He, Ne, N$_2$, Ar, Kr, and Xe. In our experiments, a combined flowmeter and dynamic expansion system, a…
We construct two strong-field path integral methods with full Coulomb distortion, in which the quantum pathways are mimicked by interfering electron orbits: the rate-based CQSFA (R-CQSFA) and the hybrid forward-boundary CQSFA (H-CQSFA). The…
We investigate Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of $^{85}$Rb atomic vapor in a glass cell that contains a 5-Torr neon buffer gas. At low probe power, EIT lines exhibit a positive frequency shift of about 70~MHz and a…
Many-body perturbation theory is implemented in order to calculate the isotope shifts of $4s$, $4p_{1/2}$, $4p_{3/2}$, $3d_{3/2}$, and $3d_{5/2}$ energy levels of Ca$^+$, for even isotopes $A=$40, 42, 44, 46, 48. The results are presented…
Multi-photon Bragg diffraction is a powerful method for fast, coherent momentum transfer of atom waves. However, laser noise, Doppler detunings, and cloud expansion limit its efficiency in large momentum transfer (LMT) pulse sequences. We…
