Calculation of the interspecies s-wave scattering length in an ultracold Na-Rb vapor
We report the calculation of the interspecies scattering length for the
sodium-rubidium (Na-Rb) system. We present improved hybrid potentials for the
singlet and triplet ground states of the NaRb
molecule, and calculate the singlet and triplet scattering lengths and
for the isotopomers NaRb and NaRb. Using
these values, we assess the prospects for producing a stable two-species
Bose-Einstein condensate in the Na-Rb system.Comment: v2: report correct units in Table captions, fix error in conclusions
for NaRb TBEC. Otherwise, more concise presentation, typos
fixed. 6 pages, 1 figur
