Here, the interplay of a density-dependent artificial gauge field and Bose-Einstein con densates (BECs) trapped in optical lattice are studied. The energy spectrum and superfluidity represented by energetic and dynamical stabilities of the system are systematically discussed. The density-dependent artificial gauge field with a back-action between the BECs dynamics and the gauge field induces an effective atomic interaction that depends on the quasi-momentum and den sity of the condensates, resulting in symmetry-broken energy spectrum and exotic stability phase diagram, i.e., the system is stable only in a certain range of atoms density and under a limited lattice strength. The density-dependent artificial gauge field changes the sequence for the emergence of energetic and dynamical instability and the regimes of the energetic and dynamical instabilities are significantly separated, offering an efficient way to study the energetic and dynamical instabilities of superfluid separately. Particularly, the density-dependent artificial gauge field, as a mechanism for transferring momentum to the fluid, results in dynamic instability of the condensates even in free space. Our results provide a deep insight into the dynamical response of superfluid system to the gauge field and have potential application for coherent control of exotic superfluid states.","PeriodicalId":16826,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140667500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the study is devoted to the glory effect, that is, the appearance of an intense peak at the center of the recorded photoelectron images, when dealing with m=0 final ionized Stark states (m denoting the magnetic quantum number). This critical effect is formally identical to that encountered in classical scattering theory, where, for a nonzero value of the impact parameter, the zero-crossing of the deflection function leads to a divergent classical differential cross section. By re-cording the magnitude variation of this glory peak as a function of electron excitation energy, we observe that, besides the traces of classical origin, it also exhibits intense quantum interference and beating phenomena, above and below the zero-static-field ionization threshold. We study both, single- and two-photon ionization of Sr, thus enabling a comparison not only between the different excitation schemes, but also with an earlier work devoted to two-photon ionization of Mg atom by Kalaitzis et al (2020 Phys. Rev. A 102, 033101). Our recordings are analyzed within the framework of the Harmin-Fano frame transformation Stark effect theory that is applied to both the hydrogen atom and a non-hydrogenic one simulating Sr. We discuss the various aspects of the recorded and calculated glory interference and beating structures and their “short time Fourier transforms” and classify them as either atom-specific or atom independent. In particular, we verify the “universal” connection between the glory oscillations above the zero-field threshold and the differences be-tween the origin-to-detector times of flight corresponding to pairs of classical electron trajectories that end up to the image center.","PeriodicalId":16826,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140666951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the first diffraction order shows a monotonous behaviour as a function of time, with a sharp response at t=0, followed by a weak sub-picosecond component and a nearly constant signal thereafter, the time dependence of second diffraction order varies dramatically with the incident energy as it is tuned across the Co M-edge, with the appearance of a component at t>1 ps that grows with increasing energy. The results are rationalised in terms of the deviations of the initial grating from sinusoidal to non-sinusoidal, namely a flattening of the grating pattern, that introduces new Fourier components. These deviations are due to higher order, three-body terms in the population relaxation kinetics. These results highlight the use of the response of the second diffraction order in EUV TG as a tool to identify higher order terms in the population kinetics.","PeriodicalId":16826,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140666515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing this signal, we employ two feedback loops to simultaneously eliminate light shifts and stabilize the clock frequency using the auto-balanced Ramsey spectroscopy scheme. Our experimental results demonstrate that this approach can reduce the clock frequency's sensitivity to variations in light shifts by implementing four Ramsey sub-sequences.
