Trapping of Neutral 87Rb Atoms on an Atomchip
-
Abstract
We report an experiment of trapping of neutral 87Rb atoms on a self-made atomchip. The H-shaped atomchip is made by magnetron sputtering technology, which is different from the atomchip technology of other teams. We collect 3×106 87Rb atoms in the mirror magneto-optical trap (MOT) using the external MOT coils, and 1×105 87Rb atoms are transferred to U-MOT using U-shaped wire in chip and a pair of bias coils.
