Collective effects in ultracold neutral plasmas
(2012)This thesis describes the measurements of collective effects in strongly coupled ultra-cold neutral plasmas (UNPs). It shows the implementation of experimental techniques that perturb either the density or velocity ... -
Creating Strontium Rydberg Atoms
(2013-05-28)Dipole-dipole interactions, the strongest, longest-range interactions possible between two neutral atoms, cannot be better manifested anywhere else than in a Rydberg atomic system. Rydberg atoms, having high principal ... -
High Resolution Sculpting and Imaging of Ultracold Neutral Plasmas
(2012-09-05)The sculpting of ultracold neutral plasmas represents a frontier in the experimental study of collective modes in strongly coupled plasmas. By extending the range of accessible length scales to less than tens of microns ... -
Ion dynamics in strongly coupled plasmas
(2007)A study of ion dynamics in strongly coupled ultracold neutral plasma (UCNP) is presented here. Plasma is created by photo-ionizing laser-cooled Sr atoms. Immediately after photo-ionization, the correlation between the ion ...
