چکیده
We report a high-precision measurement of the ground-state hyperfine splitting of Cd ions. This result is vital for an atomic clock based on the cadmium ions to estimate the frequency uncertainty. OCIS codes: (120.3940) Metrology; (300.6520) Spectroscopy, trapped ion.

Hyperfine splitting in lithiumlike scandium
High-precision experiments on the ground state hyperfine splitting in highly charged ions performed at the GSI facilities and at the EBITs (see, e.g., Refs. [1, 2, 3]) have triggered intensive theoretical investigations of this effect. The error bars of the theoretical hyperfine splitting values are mainly determined by the nuclear magnetization distribution correction, the so-called Bohr-Weiss...

Previous high-precision measurements of the groundstate hyperfine splitting in heavy H-like ions [1-5] intended to probe QED in the strong external electromagnetic field generated by a heavy nucleus. However, accurate calculations (see Ref. [6] and references therein) later revealed that the uncertainty of the predicted splittings, which mainly originates from the nuclear magnetization distribu...
متن کاملOptical pumping and readout of bismuth hyperfine states in silicon for atomic clock applications
The push for a semiconductor-based quantum information technology has renewed interest in the spin states and optical transitions of shallow donors in silicon, including the donor bound exciton transitions in the near-infrared and the Rydberg, or hydrogenic, transitions in the mid-infrared. The deepest group V donor in silicon, bismuth, has a large zero-field ground state hyperfine splitting, c...

The ground state hyperfine splitting values of high Z hydrogenlike ions are calculated. The relativistic, nuclear and QED corrections are taken into account. The nuclear magnetization distribution correction (the Bohr-Weisskopf effect) is evaluated within the single particle model with the g S-factor chosen to yield the observed nuclear moment. An additional contribution caused by the nuclear s...
متن کاملLaboratory Limits on Temporal Variations of Fundamental Constants: An Update. arXiv preprint physics/0611088
Precision comparisons of different atomic frequency standards over a period of a few years can be used for a sensitive search for temporal variations of fundamental constants. We present recent frequency measurements of the 688 THz transition in the 171 Yb + ion. For this transition frequency a record over six years is now available, showing that a possible frequency drift relative to a cesium ...
