Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in
ultracold quantum gases. They have found numerous experimental applications, opening up …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Ferromagnetism in manganese compound semiconductors not only opens prospects for
tailoring magnetic and spin-related phenomena in semiconductors with a precision specific …

State-selected rubidium-87 molecules were created at rest in a dilute Bose-Einstein

We review topics of current interest in the physics of electronic, atomic and molecular
scattering in the vicinity of thresholds. Starting from phase space arguments, we discuss the …

Molecular scattering behavior has generally proven difficult to study at low collision
energies. We formed a molecular beam of OH radicals with a narrow velocity distribution …

Over the past three years we have developed the technique of buffer-gas cooling and
loading of atoms and molecules into magnetic traps. Buffer-gas cooling relies solely on …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the formation of ultracold molecules—that is, at
temperatures well below 1 mK, the photoassociation scheme in a sample of laser-cooled …

We review the recent progress achieved in the theoretical description of chemical reactions
at low temperatures. In particular, we discuss the crucial role played by the van der Waals …
