Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms have been prepared in optical and magnetic traps in which the energy-level spacing in one or two dimensions exceeds the interaction energy between atoms, realizing condensates of lower dimensionality. The crossover into two-dimensional and one-dimensional condensates was observed by a change in aspect ratio and by the release energy converging to a nonzero value when the number of trapped atoms was reduced.
钠原子的玻色 - 爱因斯坦凝聚体已在光学和磁阱中制备出来,其中在一或二维中的能级间距超过原子间的相互作用能,从而实现了低维凝聚体。通过纵横比的变化以及当捕获原子数减少时释放能量收敛到非零值,观测到了向二维和一维凝聚体的转变。
