Spin Gradient Demagnetization Cooling of Ultracold Atoms

We demonstrate a new cooling method in which a time-varying magnetic field gradient is applied to an ultracold spin mixture. This enables preparation of isolated spin distributions at positive and negative effective spin temperatures of ±50   pK. The spin system can also be used to cool other degree...
