We have studied sub-Doppler laser cooling of thulium atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) operated at 410.6 nm. Without any additional sub-Doppler cooling cycles the sub-Doppler temperature of 25(5) microK have been achieved (the number of atoms was 3 x 10^6). This temperature is one order of magnitude lower than the Doppler limit for used transition
(240 microK). The high efficiency of sub-Doppler cooling is accounted for by equality of Lande g-factors of high and lower levels of cooling transition. We have implemented trapping of ultracold thulium atoms in a magnetic trap (MT) formed by a MOT quadruple magnetic field (field gradient is about 20 G/cm). Loading of MT has been performed from the cloud contained 4×10^5 thulim atoms previously cooled in the MOT down to the sub-Doppler temperature of 80 microK. About 4×10^4 atom have been trapped in MT at the temperature 40 microK. By analysing MT population decay process the lifetime has been determined (0.5 s) and the constrain on the rate constant of inelastic binary collision of spin-polarized thulim atoms in the ground state has been imposed.

You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation however I find this matter to be actually something which I think I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely vast for me. I am looking forward for your subsequent post, I?¦ll attempt to get the hold of it!
good post.Never knew this, thankyou for letting me know.
Lovely just what I was looking for.Thanks to the author for taking his time on this one.
F*ckin¦ amazing issues here. I am very satisfied to peer your post. Thanks a lot and i am having a look forward to touch you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
I like this post, enjoyed this one regards for posting.
Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
I enjoy forgathering utile information , this post has got me even more info! .
Spot on with this write-up, I truly assume this web site wants way more consideration. I’ll probably be once more to read much more, thanks for that info.

I’ve learn a few excellent stuff here. Certainly value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much attempt you set to make this type of magnificent informative site.
Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I am hoping you write again very soon!
Hello.This post was extremely motivating, particularly since I was browsing for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
Hey! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!
I think this web site holds very great indited written content articles.
