Abstract
We present an analysis of experimentally accessible magnetic Feshbach resonances in ultracold heteronuclear and mixtures. Using recent experimental measurements of the triplet scattering lengths for and mixtures and Feshbach resonances for one combination of atomic states, we create model potential curves and fine-tune them to reproduce the measured resonances and to predict the location of several experimentally relevant resonances in Li-Rb collisions. To model collisions, we use accurate potentials obtained previously from the analysis of experiments on collisions. We find resonances that occur at very low magnetic fields, below , which may be useful for entanglement generation in optical lattices or atom chip magnetic traps.
