Аннотация:
Bose–Einstein condensation in a dilute gas of sodium atoms has been observed. The atoms were trapped in an optically plugged magnetic trap or in a cloverleaf magnetic trap. Rf induced evaporative cooling increased the phase-space density by six orders of magnitude. We summarize the different techniques used, and discuss recent studies of properties of Bose condensates with an outlook on future developments.
