Spin gradient demagnetization cooling of ultracold atoms

We have demonstrated a new cooling method in which a time-varying magnetic field gradient is applied to an ultracold spin mixture [1].  We prepare a two-component cloud of rubidium atoms, either in the superfluid or Mott insulator phase, in a strong field gradient separating the two components with a narrow mixed region between the pure-spin...

Speckle Imaging of Spin Fluctuations in a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas

Spin fluctuations and density fluctuations are studied for a two-component gas of strongly interacting fermions along the BEC-BCS crossover [1].  Spin fluctuations are observed by directly measuring the difference in densities for the two spin states.  This was done by using a probe laser which had equal detuning from both states, but with opposite signs.
