By analyzing the 3-D force on chromium atom, a theoretical 3-D model is built and the accurate 3-D trajectory of chromium atoms in laser cooling field has been achieved. The final 3-D distribution of atoms with different parameters has also been described.", pages = "7037-7043", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/asp/jnn/2012/00000012/00000009/art00023", doi = "doi:10.1166/jnn.2012.5849" }
