We study the effect of strong radio-frequency (RF) fields on a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of chromium atoms, in a regime where the RF frequency is much larger than the Larmor frequency.

We report on the production of 52Cr Bose-Einstein condensates with an all-optical method.

Studies of cold chromium atoms in magnetic and optical traps: steps toward Bose-Einstein condensation
We introduce a time-averaged trap in which the internal state of the atoms is rapidly modulated to modify the magnetic trapping potential.

French version: Échange de spin et dynamique d’aimantation d’un gaz quantique dipolaire Dans la perspective d’étudier les interactions dipolaires dans des gaz de bosons et de fermions dégénérés, nous avons mis en place un dispositif expérimental pour refroidir et piéger…
We report the fast accumulation of a large number of metastable 52Cr atoms in a mixed trap, formed by the superposition of a strongly confining optical trap and a quadrupolar magnetic trap.

We study the continuous accumulation of cold atoms from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into a finite depth trap, consisting in a magnetic quadrupole trap dressed by a radiofrequency (RF) field.

We report on magneto-optical trapping of fermionic 53Cr atoms.
