uicontrols generally support limited HTML, but not tex or latex. I don't
think that the HTML support would extend as far as creating a lower index.

If I recall correctly, Yair Altman has created mechanisms for more
detailed control of uicontrol objects, by going in at the java level.

All uicontrols (save a few quirks) support HTML as a corollary of the fact that they are based on Java Swing components that support HTML: http://UndocumentedMatlab.com/blog/html-support-in-matlab-uicomponents/

In your particular case, use HTML subscripts/superscripts. For example:
set(hButton, 'string', '<html>&alpha;<sub>atm');

(note that using the Symbol font in HTML is discouraged: http://www.alanwood.net/demos/symbol.html - this is why I've used &alpha;)
