摘要:

高电荷离子(HCIs)在量子计量学和寻找新物理方面引起了极大关注。其中,Ni12+被认为是下一代HCI光学钟最有希望的候选者之一,因为它具有两条E1禁戒跃迁M1和E2,这两条跃迁发生在可见光谱范围内。在这项工作中,我们使用上海-武汉电子束离子阱对M1跃迁波长进行了高精度测量。我们的方法包括改进的光谱校准方案,利用辅助的Ar+线进行校准和修正。我们最终测得的M1跃迁波长结果显示,与之前的测量结果相比,精度提高了五倍,达到了亚皮米级精度。结合我们严格的原子结构计算来捕获电子关联和相对论效应,提取了量子电动力学(QED)修正。此外,通过使用GRASP2018包对单电子QED贡献的估计进行比较,我们发现目前的实验精度足以测试这种在p子壳层中有四个电子的复杂系统的高阶QED修正。

英文摘要:

Highly charged ions (HCIs) have drawn significant interest in quantum metrology and in search for new physics. Among these, Ni12+ is considered as one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of HCI optical clocks, due to its two E1-forbidden transitions M1 and E2, which occur in the visible spectral range. In this work, we used the Shanghai-Wuhan Electron Beam Ion Trap to perform a high-precision measurement of the M1 transition wavelength. Our approach involved an improved calibration scheme for the spectra, utilizing auxiliary Ar+ lines for calibration and correction. Our final measured result of the M1 transition wavelength demonstrates a five-fold improvement in accuracy compared to our previous findings, reaching the sub-picometer level accuracy. In combination with our rigorous atomic-structure calculations to capture the electron correlations and relativistic effects, the quantum electrodynamic (QED) corrections were extracted. Moreover, comparing with an estimate of the one-electron QED contributions by using the GRASP2018 package, we found that the present experimental accuracy is high enough for testing the higher-order QED corrections for such a complex system with four electrons in the p subshell.
