We report the creation of the first mixture of 6Li and 88Sr atoms in an optical dipole trap. Using this mixture, a measurement of the interspecies thermalization process is carried out and the previously unknown interspecies s-wave scattering length between 6Li and 88Sr atoms is extracted to be

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
