Molecules in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

State-selected rubidium-87 molecules were created at rest in a
dilute Bose-Einstein condensate of rubidium-87 atoms with coherent free-bound stimulated Raman transitions. The transition rate exhibited a resonance line shape with an extremely narrow width as small as 1.5 kilohertz. The precise shape and position of the resonance are
sensitive to the mean-field interactions between the molecules and the
atomic condensate. As a result, we were able to measure the
molecule-condensate interactions. This method allows molecular binding
energies to be determined with unprecedented accuracy and is of
interest as a mechanism for the generation of a molecular Bose-Einstein
condensate.
