  2. 1. Atomic transport in optical lattices

    Author : Henning Hagman; Claude Dion; Daniel Comparat; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Ultra-cold atoms; optical lattice; laser cooling; directed transport; Brownian motor; Brownian motion;

    Abstract : This thesis includes both experimental and theoretical investigations of fluctuation-induced transport phenomena, presented in a series of nine papers, by studies of the dynamics of cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices. With standard laser cooling techniques about 108 cesium atoms are accumulated, cooled to a few μK, and transferred into a dissipative optical lattice. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical simulation of the dynamics of a trapped molecular ion

    Author : Avazeh Hashemloo; Claude Dion; Michael Drewsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diatomic molecular ion; linear Paul trap; rigid rotor; quantum rotational dynamics; wave-packet dynamics; time-dependent Schrödinger equation; stability;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the dynamics of a heteronuclear diatomic molecular ion, possessing a permanent electric dipole moment, µ, which is trapped in a linear Paul trap and can interact with an off-resonance laser field. To build our model we use the rigid-rotor approximation, where the dynamics of the molecular ion are limited to its translational and rotational motions of the center-of-mass. READ MORE

  5. 3. Magnetic deflagration and detonation in crystals of nanomagnets

    Author : Oleksii Iukhymenko; Claude Dion; Javier Tejada; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanomagnets; magnetic deflagration; front instability; Zeeman energy; magnetic instability; magnetic detonation; weak detonation; Physics Of Matter; materiefysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis we cover the dynamics of the macro magnetic transformations (spin avalanches) in crystals of molecular nanomagnets, also known as magnetic deflagration and detonation.Taking a single-molecule Hamiltonian, we calculate the dependence of Zeeman energy and the activation energy as a function of an external magnetic field at different angles relative to the easy axis of the crystal.

  6. 4. Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Ultra-Cold Atoms

    Author : Magnus Rehn; Anders Kastberg; Claude Dion; Matti Kaivola; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ultracold atoms; optical lattices; Bose-Einstein condensation; quantum phase transitions; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : I have been one of the main responsible for building a new laboratory for Bose-Einstein condensation with 87Rb. In particular, the experimental setup has been designed for performing experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates load into optical lattices of variable geometries. All parts essential for Bose-Einstein condensation are in place. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ultracold atoms in optical potentials : from noise-induced transport to superfluidity

    Author : Martin Zelan; Claude Dion; Sile Nic Chormaic; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Brownian motors; noise-induced transport; superfluidity; ultracold atoms; optical potentials; optical lattices; laser coooling; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, both experimental studies and numerical simulations of ultracold atoms in optical potentials are presented in a collection of nine scientific papers. In particular, noise-induced transport in dissipative optical lattices and superfluid properties of Bose-Einstein condensates have been studied. READ MORE
