论文摘要
我们已将BAF分子捕获在霓虹灯冰中，并使用激光诱导的荧光光谱法来绘制捕获分子中的光学转变。我们的测量结果表明，霓虹灯晶格不会显着扰动捕获分子中的某些光学转变。我们使用了其中一种转变来极化电子自旋，检测自旋翻转并测量捕获分子中的超精细转变，完全使用激光器。这种用重的极性分子进行的演示为超出标准模型物理学的精确测量提供了新的机会。
We have trapped BaF molecules in neon ice, and used laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy to map out optical transitions in the trapped molecules. Our measurements show that the neon lattice does not significantly perturb certain optical transitions in the trapped molecules. We used one of these transitions to polarize the electron spins, detect spin flips and measure hyperfine transitions in the trapped molecules, entirely using lasers. This demonstration with heavy polar molecules opens up new opportunities for precision measurements of beyond-standard-model physics.
