摘要
Three magnetic-field induced heteronuclear Feshbach resonances were identified in collisions between bosonic Rb-87 and fermionic K-40 atoms in their absolute ground states. Strong inelastic loss from an optically trapped mixture was observed at the resonance positions of 492, 512, and 543 +/- 2 G. The magnetic-field locations of these resonances place a tight constraint on the triplet and singlet cross-species scattering lengths, yielding (-281 +/- 15)a(0) and (-54 +/- 12)a(0), respectively. The width of the loss feature at 543 G is 3.7 +/- 1.5 G wide; this broad Feshbach resonance should enable experimental control of the interspecies interactions.
