Heteronuclear Spin-Changing-Collisions in Li-Na mixtures — •Arno Trautmann, Fabián Olivares, Marcell Gall, Fred Jendrzejewski, and Markus K. Oberthaler — Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Im Neuenheimer Feld 227, 69120 Heidelberg

Homonuclear Spin-Changing-Collisions are a well-known tool in ultracold atomic samples to study entanglement, magnetism and the rich field of both bosonic and fermionic spinor physics. Spin-Changing-Collisions of atoms with different species can extend these tools even further to investigate collective effects of spinor mixtures. We present first results on heteronuclear Bose-Bose Spin-Dynamics in the 7Li-Na mixtures as well as in the Fermi-Bose 6Li-Na mixture. The heteronuclear Bose-Bose system has the advantage that no dressing is needed to achieve energetic degeneracy due to the different quadratic Zeeman shift. The Fermi-Bose case, however, poses large experimental challenges since the energy-dependence on the magnetic field is of linear order, which requires high stability of magnetic fields.

Since the spin-exchange term for all these processes depends on the scattering lengths of the molecular states, we also present the first measurement of the Feshbach spectrum of 7Li-Na which reveals a 1 G broad resonance at 150 G.
