Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 223001 (2004) [4 pages]Two-Dimensional Trapping of Dipolar Molecules in Time-Varying Electric FieldsReceived 9 October 2003; published 1 June 2004 Simultaneous two-dimensional trapping of neutral dipolar molecules in low- and high-field seeking states is analyzed. A trapping potential of the order of 20 mK can be produced for molecules such as ND3 with time-dependent electric fields. The analysis is in agreement with an experiment where slow molecules with longitudinal velocities of the order of 20 m/s are guided between four 50 cm long rods driven by an alternating electric potential at a frequency of a few kHz. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
