Explanation of efficient quenching of molecular ion vibrational motion by ultracold atoms

To exploit the internal structure of molecules it is necessary to reach very low temperatures, but this is made impractical by long relaxation times for molecular vibrations. Here the authors provide a theoretical description for the existence of a large class of systems exhibiting efficient vibrati...

Sumario:To exploit the internal structure of molecules it is necessary to reach very low temperatures, but this is made impractical by long relaxation times for molecular vibrations. Here the authors provide a theoretical description for the existence of a large class of systems exhibiting efficient vibrational cooling.
