摘要: Bose-Einstein condensation of ${}^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ has been studied in a magnetically trapped gas. Because the effectively attractive interactions between atoms, many-body quantum theory predicts that occupation number condensate is limited to about 1400 atoms. We observe be maximum value 650 and 1300 The measurements were made using versatile phase-contrast imaging technique.
