  • 本文实验研究了自旋极化6Li原子气体在159 G附近的窄p-波Feshbach共振中掺入异自旋原子后的三体损失动力学行为.通过高信噪比原子损失曲线的拟合分析,发现异自旋原子参与了由两个主组分原子与一个异自旋原子构成的三体复合过程.尽管异自旋原子不会直接参与两个主组分原子之间的p-波两体共振散射,实验仍观测到异自旋分量的损失谱中出现与主组分同步的p-波双峰劈裂结构,这说明其损失是通过共振过程中形成的中间准束缚分子态与异自旋原子的原子—分子非弹性碰撞间接实现的.进一步地,通过比较不同异自旋掺杂比例下的三体损失系数,本文提取了异自旋辅助的原子—分子非弹性弛豫特性,并发现不同掺杂条件下的损失动力学能够在统一的级联耗散框架内得到描述.本工作不仅揭示了异自旋原子对中间准束缚分子态的跨组分敏感响应,还通过等效损失率的守恒性确证了级联耗散路径的分配机制,为在窄共振体系中区分直接与级联过程提供了普适性的组分分辨判据.

     

    We report an experimental study of cross-component three-body loss in an ultracold fermionic gas of 6Li near the narrow p-wave Feshbach resonance in the |1〉-|1〉 channel at 159 G. A controllable population of atoms in the spin state |2〉 is introduced into a spin-polarized |1〉 gas to investigate the coupling between a nonresonant spin component and the resonant inelastic dynamics. In the magnetic-field range studied here, the |2〉 atoms are far detuned from the |1〉-|2〉 and |2〉-|2〉 p-wave resonances, and therefore do not directly participate in the resonant two-body scattering between two |1〉 atoms. Nevertheless, componentresolved loss spectra reveal that the |2〉 component exhibits a double-peak loss structure at the same magnetic-field positions as the dipole-split p-wave resonance peaks of the |1〉 component. This spectral correspondence is consistent with a loss process mediated by intermediate quasibound molecular states associated with the resonant |1〉-|1〉 channel. Time-resolved measurements further show that the decay of the |2〉 atoms is described by an effective |1〉-|1〉-|2〉 three-body loss term proportional to n12n2, whereas models based on |1〉-|2〉 two-body loss or |1〉-|2〉-|2〉 three-body loss do not reproduce the measured dynamics. The observations are described within a cascade atom-dimer model, in which two |1〉 atoms first form a quasibound p-wave dimer d11, followed by inelastic relaxation through either the a1-d11 or the a2-d11 channel. By varying the initial population ratio N2/N1, we find that the extracted loss coefficients L111 and L112 show opposite overall trends, while the weighted coefficient L111+2N2L112/(3N1) remains approximately unchanged within the experimental uncertainty. This behavior indicates that the nonresonant spin component mainly redistributes atom-dimer relaxation between competing decay channels, rather than substantially modifying the initial formation step of the quasibound dimer. These results provide component-resolved evidence for a cascade loss mechanism near a narrow p-wave Feshbach resonance and suggest a diagnostic for distinguishing atom-dimer-mediated cascade loss from direct threebody recombination.
