Population redistribution in optically trapped polar molecules. Deiglmayr, J., Repp, M., Dulieu, O., Wester, R., & Weidemueller, M. European Physical Journal D, 65(1-2):99–104, November, 2011. WOS:000297137000013

We investigate the rovibrational population redistribution of polar molecules in the electronic ground state induced by spontaneous emission and blackbody radiation. As a model system we use optically trapped LiCs molecules formed by photoassociation in an ultracold two-species gas. The population dynamics of vibrational and rotational states is modeled using an ab initio electric dipole moment function and experimental potential energy curves. Comparison with the evolution of the vaEuro(3) = 3 electronic ground state yields good qualitative agreement. The analysis provides important input to assess applications of ultracold LiCs molecules in quantum simulation and ultracold chemistry.
