  <dc:description>This is a stand-alone version of chapter 2 of Mathis Fischer’s PhD thesis [1]. It aims to provide
an overview of the physical properties of the bosonic Lithium isotope 7Li, that are useful and
relevant for quantum gas experiments. While there are great resources on the relevant physical
properties of Rubidium, Cesium, Sodium, Potassium, and the fermionic isotope 6Li by Daniel
Steck, Tobias Tiecke, and Michael Gehm [2–7], there is - to the best of our knowledge -
no comparable manuscript discussing the properties of 7Li. A review article by Randall G. Hulet,
Jason H. V. Nguyen, and Ruwan Senaratne [8] discusses methods for the preparation of cold
gases of both Lithium isotopes. Here we summarize these results together with other resources
to provide the relevant data solely for 7Li in a similar format as from Michael Gehm for 6Li.
We focus on the important properties that need to be considered for successful Bose-Einstein
condensation of 7Li.
