Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical trap of a stable "closed-shell" molecule: aluminum monofluoride (AlF).
Pushing experimental boundaries: Aluminum fluoride (AlF) is the first stable “closed shell” molecule ever prepared in a magneto-optical trap and cooled to millikelvin temperatures. The AlF molecular ...
