Quantum degenerate Bose-Fermi atomic gas mixture of 23Na and 40K

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/aca14f

Abstract We report a compact experimental setup for producing a quantum degenerate mixture of Bose

^{23}

Na and Fermi

^{40}

K gases. The atoms are collected in dual dark magneto-optical traps (MOT) with species timesharing loading to reduce the light-induced loss, and then further cooled using the gray molasses technique on the

D_{2}

line for

^{23}

Na and

D_{1}

line for

^{40}

K. The microwave evaporation cooling is used to cool

^{23}

Na in

| F = 2, m_{F} = 2 ⟩

in an optically plugged magnetic trap, meanwhile,

^{40}

K in

| F = 9 / 2, m_{F} = 9 / 2 ⟩

is sympathetically cooled. Then the mixture is loaded into a large volume optical dipole trap where

^{23}

Na atoms are immediately transferred to

| 1, 1 ⟩

for further effective cooling to avoid the strong three-body loss between

^{23}

Na atoms in

| 2, 2 ⟩

and

^{40}

K atoms in

| 9 / 2, 9 / 2 ⟩

. At the end of the evaporation in optical trap, a degenerate Fermi gas of

^{40}

K with

1.9 \times 10^{5}

atoms at

T / T_{F} = 0.5

in the

| 9 / 2, 9 / 2 ⟩

hyperfine state coexists with a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of

^{23}

Na with

8 \times 10^{4}

atoms in the

| 1, 1 ⟩

hyperfine state at 300 nK. We also can produce the two species mixture with the tunable population imbalance by adjusting the

^{23}

Na magneto-optical trap loading time.
