Bose–Einstein condensation of 162Dy and 160Dy

We report Bose–Einstein condensation of two isotopes of the highly magnetic element dysprosium: ^162 Dy and $^{160}$ Dy. For ^162 Dy, condensates with 10 ^5 atoms form below T = 50 nK. We find the evaporation efficiency for the isotope ^160 Dy to be poor; however, by utilizing a low-field Fano–Feshb...
