碱金属蒸气电池抗弛豫涂层的表面科学研究
Investigation of Anti-Relaxation Coatings for Alkali-Metal Vapor Cells Using Surface Science Techniques
摘要：
许多基于含有碱金属原子蒸气的电池的技术受益于使用抗弛豫表面涂层以保持原子自旋极化。特别是，石蜡已用于此目的数十年，并已被证明允许原子与其容器壁发生多达10，000次碰撞而不去极化，但其操作细节仍然知之甚少。我们应用现代表面和体技术的研究石蜡涂层，以表征的属性，使有效的保存碱自旋极化。这些方法包括傅里叶变换红外光谱、差示扫描量热法、原子力显微镜、近边X射线吸收精细结构光谱和X射线光电子能谱学。我们还比较了几种不同的石蜡材料的光诱导原子解吸产率。实验结果包括确定涂层材料的结晶度是不必要的，和检测C=C双键存在于特定类别的有效石蜡涂层内。进一步的研究应导致更强大的石蜡抗松弛涂层的发展，以及设计和合成的新类别的涂层材料。
英文摘要：
Many technologies based on cells containing alkali-metal atomic vapor benefit from the use of anti-relaxation surface coatings in order to preserve atomic spin polarization. In particular, paraffin has been used for this purpose for several decades and has been demonstrated to allow an atom to experience up to 10,000 collisions with the walls of its container without depolarizing, but the details of its operation remain poorly understood. We apply modern surface and bulk techniques to the study of paraffin coatings, in order to characterize the properties that enable the effective preservation of alkali spin polarization. These methods include Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We also compare the light-induced atomic desorption yields of several different paraffin materials. Experimental results include the determination that crystallinity of the coating material is unnecessary, and the detection of C=C double bonds present within a particular class of effective paraffin coatings. Further study should lead to the development of more robust paraffin anti-relaxation coatings, as well as the design and synthesis of new classes of coating materials.
