Abstract
We study the collective dynamics in a degenerate Bose–Fermi mixture of 174Yb and 173Yb atoms. We excite collective oscillations by a sudden reduction of the trapping confinement and observe low m=0 quadrupole oscillations of condensates in 174Yb. First the oscillations in 174Yb atoms alone are investigated, and they are well described by the time-dependent Gross–Pitaevskii equation in the Thomas–Fermi approximation. Using the same procedure the quadrupole oscillations are excited for a 174Yb–173Yb Bose–Fermi mixture. In comparing data taken with and without fermionic 173Yb atoms, the oscillation frequency of the quadrupole mode in the condensate decreases with the presence of 173Yb atoms.
