Collisional stability of localized Yb(3P2) atoms immersed in a Fermi sea of Li
We establish an experimental method for a detailed investigation of inelastic collisional properties between ytterbium (Yb) in the metastable ${}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{2}$ state and ground state lithium (Li). By combining an optical lattice and a direct excitation to the ${}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{2}$ state we ach...
