Abstract
En 中文
Ultracold elastic collisions of 87Rb with 40K87Rb in its ground vibrational and rotational state are investigated using a first principles based theoretical methodology. Full-dimensional ab initio computed potential energy surfaces are reported that include the two lowest-lying electronic states, their conical intersection, non-adiabatic couplings and an accurate long-range behavior. A numerically exact time-independent quantum dynamics method in hyperspherical coordinates is used to compute the elastic scattering cross sections, rate coefficients and collision lifetime spectrum. The quantum scattering calculations include all degrees of freedom and treat both electronic states and their non-adiabatic couplings using a two-state diabatic representation. The theoretically computed elastic rate coefficient is in good agreement with the recently reported experimental value. Significant non-adiabatic quantum interference effects are shown to originate from the unique properties of ultracold collisions and the geometric phase associated with the conical intersection. A high-resolution collision energy grid is used to investigate the origin of the experimentally reported long-lived 3-body collision complexes.
