摘要: We present photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold NaCs molecules formed in a dual-species magneto-optical trap. Excited-state are states correlating to the Na(3S1/2)+Cs(6P3/2) asymptote. assign most prominent observed vibrational progression Ω=2 long range state based on comparison with ab initio potentials. Molecules secondarily excited before decaying deeply bound levels electronic ground X1Σ+ where they ionized and detected by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy.
