摘要:

本文研究了镭同位素中电四极跃迁$7s\,^2S_{1/2}$ - $6d\,^2D_{3/2}$、$6d\,^2D_{5/2}$作为单离子光频标的可能性。计算了由于外场引起的时钟跳变的频移和相应的不确定性。鉴定了几种与$A=$ 223 - 229竞争的$^A$ Ra $^+$候选物。特别是,我们表明,过渡$7s\,^2S_{1/2}\,(F=2,m_F=0)$ - $6d\,^2D_{3/2}\,(F=0,m_F=0)$在828 nm的$^{223}$ Ra $^+$,没有线性塞曼和电四极位移,突出作为一个相对简单的情况下,它可以被利用作为一个紧凑的,强大的,低成本的原子钟工作在一个分数频率的不确定性$10^{-17}$。通过更多的实验努力,$^{223,225,226}$ Ra $^+$时钟可以被推到达到$10^{-18}$水平的预期性能。

英文摘要:

We explore the potential of the electric quadrupole transitions $7s\,^2S_{1/2}$ - $6d\,^2D_{3/2}$, $6d\,^2D_{5/2}$ in radium isotopes as single-ion optical frequency standards. The frequency shifts of the clock transitions due to external fields and the corresponding uncertainties are calculated. Several competitive $^A$Ra$^+$ candidates with $A=$ 223 - 229 are identified. In particular, we show that the transition $7s\,^2S_{1/2}\,(F=2,m_F=0)$ - $6d\,^2D_{3/2}\,(F=0,m_F=0)$ at 828 nm in $^{223}$Ra$^+$, with no linear Zeeman and electric quadrupole shifts, stands out as a relatively simple case, which could be exploited as a compact, robust, and low-cost atomic clock operating at a fractional frequency uncertainty of $10^{-17}$. With more experimental effort, the $^{223,225,226}$Ra$^+$ clocks could be pushed to a projected performance reaching the $10^{-18}$ level.
