Formation of molecular ions by radiative association of cold trapped atoms and ions

Radiative emission during cold collisions between trapped laser-cooled Rb atoms and alkaline-earth ions (Ca ^+ , Sr ^+ , Ba ^+ ) and Yb ^+ , and between Li and Yb ^+ , are studied theoretically, using accurate effective core potential based quantum chemistry calculations of potential energy curves a...
