Inelastic Collisions of Atomic Antimony, Aluminum, Erbium and Thulium below 1 K
Inelastic collision processes driven by anistropic interactions are investigated below 1 K. Three distinct experiments are presented. First, for the atomic species antimony (Sb), rapid relaxation is observed in collisions with \(^4He\). We identify the relatively large spin-orbit coupling as the pri...
