Abstract

In this article, we have theoretically studied the time averaged adiabatic potential (TAAP) scheme for realizing different atom trapping geometries. It is shown that by varying time orbiting potential (TOP) fields and radio frequency (rf) fields parameters, controlled manipulation of trapping potentials, and conversion from one trapping geometry to another, is possible. The proposed trapping geometries can be useful for studying various atom-optic phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in low dimensions, super-fluidity, tunnelling, atom interferometry, etc.
