Mixed spin character bound states in ultra-long range giant dipole molecules — •Thomas Stielow, Markus Kurz, and Stefan Scheel — Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Albert-Einstein-Str. 23-24, 18059 Rostock

An exotic species of Rydberg atoms in crossed eletric and magnetic fields are so-called giant-dipole atoms [1]. They are characterized by an electron-ionic core separation in the range of several micrometers, leading to huge permanent dipole moments of several hundred thousand Debye. Recently, diatomic molecular states formed by the binding of a giant-dipole atom with a neutral ground-state perturber have been analyzed within the framework of a triplet dominated S-wave Fermi-pseudopotential approach [2]. In this work, we expand this analysis by including both S- and P-wave scattering potentials along with the hyperfine-structure coupling of the ground-state perturber. We discuss the effects of these couplings on the adiabatic molecular potentials. In addition to the Fermi-pseudopotential ansatz we provide a comparative study based on a Green’s function approach [3].
