Quantum control of molecular rotation (2018, background): “This transfers the molecule’s kinetic energy to the atom from where it is removed by laser cooling (Mølhave and Drewsen, 2000).”
Rotational laser cooling of vibrationally and translationally cold molecular ions (2010, background): “Sympathetic cooling of trapped molecular ions, through the Coulomb interaction with laser-cooled atomic ions, has, on the other hand, proven highly effective for reaching translational temperatures in the millikelvin range, where the ions become spatially localized in the form of so-called Coulomb c”
Cold and ultracold molecules: science, technology and applications (2009, background): “Cooling of the motional states of ions in a trap down to temperatures sufficient for Coulomb crystallization (T < 100mK) has been demonstrated by sympathetic cooling with co-trapped, laser-cooled atomic ions [383]–[385].”
