It is established within the Thomas -- Fermi model that a bound state of a proton with a heavy atom should exist. On the one hand, the electrons of the atom screen the protons field. This decreases the repulsion force between the proton and the nucleus. On the other hand, the attraction force between the proton and the electrons is directed towards the gradient of the electron density, i. e. towards the nucleus. For instance, for Z=80 both forces become equal at approximately 0.6a where a is the Bohr radius. The corresponding minimum of the proton potential energy is in the region of negative energies (attraction) that can be of the order of several tens of eV. We propose to call such a system a binuclear atom. In contrast to the molecules where a coupling with a hydrogen atom is due to an essential modification of one or several states of the outer electrons the formation of a binuclear atom is a result of collective response of the whole system of inner electrons to the screened potential of a proton that is well inside the electron system of the heavy atom. The variation of the wave function of each electron can be considered as a small perturbation. The bound state is formed as a result of joint action of a large number of perturbed inner electrons. The important problem concerning the accuracy of our calculation within the Thomas -- Fermi model is discussed.
We study a three-body system, formed by a light particle and two identical heavy dipoles, in two dimensions in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We present the analytic light-particle wave function resulting from an attractive zero-range potential
We report a theoretical study on the long-range additive and nonadditive potentials for a three-body hybrid atom-atom-ion system composed of one ground $S$ state Li atom, one excited $P$ state Li atom and one ground $S$ state Li$^+$ ion, Li($2,^{2}S$
We demonstrate the reversible mapping of a coherent state of light with mean photon number n-bar ~= 1.1 to and from the hyperfine states of an atom trapped within the mode of a high finesse optical cavity. The coherence of the basic processes is veri
We demonstrate the production of high density cold atom samples (2e14 atoms/cc) in a simple optical lattice formed with YAG light that is diffracted from a holographic phase plate. A loading protocol is described that results in 10,000 atoms per latt
We demonstrate the production of micron-sized high density atom clouds of interest for meso- scopic quantum information processing. We evaporate atoms from 60 microK, 3x10^14 atoms/cm^3 samples contained in a highly anisotropic optical lattice formed
