We investigate the static and dynamic properties of tetratomic molecules formed by two microwave-shielded polar molecules across field-linked resonances. In particular, we focus on two-body physics and experimental techniques unexplored in the recent experiment [X.-Y. Chen {\it et al}., Nature {\bf626}, 283 (2024)]. We show that, compared to the lowest tetramer state, higher tetramer states typically have longer lifetimes, which may facilitate a further cooling of tetramer gases towards quantum degeneracy. To detect tetramers, we identify the distinctive time-of-flight images from ramp dissociation, which can be observed by lowering the ramp rate of the microwave. Remarkably, in the modulational dissociation of tetramers, we find that multi-photon processes induce dissociation even below the threshold modulation frequency when the modulation amplitude is sufficiently high. Given the universal form of the inter-molecular potential for microwave-shielded polar molecules, our results also apply to other molecular gases widely explored in recent experiments.

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dual-microwave shielding of polar molecules is shown to have an optimal regime where dipolar attraction cancels and the good-to-bad collision ratio peaks, enabling an effective potential that predicts correlated gas states.
