Low-energy scattering of ultracold atoms by a dielectric nanosphere

We theoretically study the low-energy scattering of ultracold atoms by a dielectric nanosphere of silica glass levitated in a vacuum. The atom and dielectric surface interact via dispersion force of which strength sensitively depends on the polarizability, dielectric function, and geometry. For cesi...
