摘要: This paper firstly reports a theoretical study of elastic scattering properties in a mixture of 23Na and 7Li atoms at cold and ultracold temperatures in detail. Based on the new constructed accurate singlet X1g+ and the triplet a3u+ states interatomic potentials for 23Na7Li mixture, it calculates the scattering lengths and the effective ranges by three computational methods, and obtains good agreements. Using the mass scaling method, it also calculates 23Na6Li scattering lengths and s-wave and total elastic cross sections, whose rich resonance structures were found and interpreted in terms of quasibound diatomic levels trapped behind a centrifugal barrier.

关键词: scattering length, elastic cross section, variable phase method

Abstract: This paper firstly reports a theoretical study of elastic scattering properties in a mixture of 23Na and 7Li atoms at cold and ultracold temperatures in detail. Based on the new constructed accurate singlet $X^1\varSigma_g^+$ and the triplet $a^3\varSigma_u^+$ states interatomic potentials for 23Na7Li mixture, it calculates the scattering lengths and the effective ranges by three computational methods, and obtains good agreements. Using the mass scaling method, it also calculates 23Na6Li scattering lengths and s-wave and total elastic cross sections, whose rich resonance structures were found and interpreted in terms of quasibound diatomic levels trapped behind a centrifugal barrier.

Key words: scattering length, elastic cross section, variable phase method
