In a magneto-optical trap used for cooling atoms which mechanism limits atomic density?

💡 Explanation

The interaction between neighboring atomic dipole moments induces disruptive magnetic fields. This dipole-dipole interaction limits density because induced fields cause instability rather than tighter confinement. Therefore the packing density decreases instead of increases due to collisions.
