Hg~+离子5d~(10)6s ~2S_(1/2)→5d~96s~2 ~2D_(5/2)钟跃迁同位素位移和超精细结构的理论研究

本文首先在Dirac-Hartree-Fock近似下理论评估了Hg~+离子5d~(10)6s ~2S_(1/2)→5d~96s~2 ~2D_(5/2)钟跃迁的质量位移(mass shift, MS)和场位移(field shift, FS)在其同位素位移(isotope shift, IS)中的相对贡献,发现MS远小于FS而可以被忽略.在此基础上,通过系统地考虑该原子体系中主要的电子关联效应,计算了这条钟跃迁FS的精确值以及涉及到的上下两个能级的超精细结构常数,并得到了几种稳定汞同位素离子该跃迁的IS和超精细结构分裂.其中,计算的~(199)Hg~+和~(198)Hg~+离子之间的钟跃迁频率偏移与已有实验测量值相比误差为2%左右.最终,本文给出了汞离子7种常见同位素该谱线的绝对频率值,为实验上的谱线测量提供了有效的理论依据.     

Rubidium-beam microwave clock pumped by distributed feedback diode lasers

A rubidium-beam microwave clock, optically pumped by a distributed feedback diode laser, is experimentally investigated. The clock is composed of a physical package, optical systems, and electric servo loops. The physical package realizes the microwave interrogation of a rubidium-atomic beam. The optical systems, equipped with two 780-nm distributed feedback laser diodes, yield light for pumping and detecting. The servo loops control the frequency of a local oscillator with respect to the microwave spectrum. With the experimental systems, the microwave spectrum, which has an amplitude of 4 n A and a line width of 700 Hz, is obtained. Preliminary tests show that the clock short-term frequency stability is 7 × 10~(-11) at 1 s, and 3 × 10~(-12) at 1000 s. These experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme for a manufactured clock.

ZBLAN玻璃中Pr3+掺杂离子3P0和1D2能级的发光特性和寿命

对ZBLAN氟锆酸盐玻璃中Pr³⁺掺杂离子³P₀和¹D₂能级的寿命和发光特性进行了较详细的光谱学研究。首先测量了两种掺杂浓度(质量分数分别为1×10^-3,5×10^-3)的Pr³⁺:ZBLAN玻璃的吸收光谱,然后运用时间分辨激光光谱技术测量了³P₀和¹D₂能级在激光单光子共振激发下的荧光发射谱和能级寿命。将不同荧光发射谱带的强度和文献报道的Judd Ofelt理论计算辐射跃迁几率数值做了比较分析,证明了文献中理论计算结果的可靠性。由于浓度猝灭效应,在相同的激发条件下,掺杂浓度为1×10^-3样品的荧光发射强度明显大于5×10^-3样品的荧光发射强度。但是从我们的测量结果看,掺杂浓度对³P₀和¹D₂ 的能级寿命值无显著影响。掺杂浓度为1×10^-3时,Pr³⁺离子³P₀和¹D₂能级的寿命值分别为46,322μ_s。     

Quasi Three-Body Decay of D Meson

The aim of this work is to provide a phenomenological analysis of the contribution of D~0 meson to K*(892)~0π~+π~-(K*(892)~0-→π~+K~-), K~-π~+ω(ω-→π~+π~-π~0) and K~-π~+?(?(1020)-→ K~+K~-) quasi-three-body decays. The analysis of mentioned multi-body decays is such as to factorize into the three-body decay and several channels observed. Hadronic three-body decays receive both resonant and non-resonant contribution. Based on the factorization method, there are tree and emission annihilation diagrams for these decay modes. In the case of D~0 to vector pseudoscalar states appeared in factored terms, the matrix elements of the vector and axial vector currents between the D~0 and PV mesons can be computed by using D~(*+)pole. Considering the non-resonant and resonant amplitude in our computation,the theoretical values of the branching ratio are(9.78 ± 0.46) × 10~(-3),(2.74 ± 0.17) × 10~(-2), and(3.53 ± 0.23) × 10~(-5), while the experimental results of them are(9.9 ±2.3) × 10~(-3),(2.7 ± 0.5) × 10~(-2), and(4 ± 1.7) × 10~(-5) respectively. Comparing computational analysis values with experimental values show that our results are in approximately agreement with them.     

The Two-Nucleon Mechanism for the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay and the BCS Nuclear Wave Function

A method of using the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) nuclear wave function to treat the two-nucleon mechanism for neutiinoless double beta decay process 0⁺ → 0⁺ is proposed.The neutrinoless decay mode and the neutrinoless decay accompanied by a Majoron emission mode of ⁸²Se are studikd. Our cdculated results show that to reproduce the experimental value of γ^(ov) > 1.8 × 10²² yr for neutrinoless double beta decai of ⁸²Se the Majorana neutrino mass m_v < 6.2 eV and the mixing parameter of right-handed current η < 7.0 × 10^-6 In the emission with a Majoron mode the effective Majoron coupling to neutrino is deduced from the experimental value of γ^(ov,H) > 4.4 × 10²⁰ yr for ⁸²Se with the result H0> < 6.2 × 10^-4.     

Pressure dependence of plasma parameters in medium-vacuum nitrogenarc discharge with the titanium cathode

The plasma properties of a medium-vacuum nitrogen arc discharge from a titanium cathode were studied. The arc chamber use was 400 mm in diameter and 600 mm in length. The cathode diameter and thickness were 64 and 25 mm, respectively. The experimental conditions are given as follows: pressure range=1×10^-3~2×10^-1 torr; N₂ gas flow rate=6 ml/min; arc current=50 A. Electric probe characteristics are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. The analytical results obtained show that the electron energy distribution takes 1-Mx at pressures above 1×10^-2 torr but 2-Mx at pressures under 4×10^-2 torr and that the electron density has a maximum value at a certain pressure. The Ti⁺, Ti⁺⁺, and N ⁺₂ ion spectral intensities are measured as a function of pressure and distance from the cathode surface. On comparison of these results and the electron density, the Ti⁺ spectral intensity turns out to be proportional to that of the electron density. This suggests that the major ion in the plasma volume is of the Ti⁺ species     

原子喷泉频标:原理与发展

介绍了喷泉频标的原理与发展.喷泉频标是一项近20年来发展起来的原子钟技术,它以激光冷却技术为基础,利用该技术实现了冷原子介质的俘获与上抛.冷原子介质在上抛下落过程中首先完成原子态制备,然后两次通过微波谐振腔实现Ramsey作用,在两次作用之间原子经历自由演化,最后原子经过探测区,通过双能级荧光探测法探测原子跃迁概率得到鉴频的Ramsey干涉条纹,并实现频率锁定,其中心条纹的线宽在1Hz左右.频率稳定度和频率不确定度是喷泉频标的两个重要指标.影响喷泉钟频率稳定度的因素主要有量子投影噪声和电子学噪声,目前喷泉钟的短期稳定度为(10~(-13)—10~(-14))τ~(-1/2),长期稳定度在(10~(-16)—10~(-17))量级.喷泉频标的频率不确定度主要受二阶塞曼频移、黑体辐射频移、冷原子碰撞频移以及与微波相关的频移等的影响.目前喷泉钟的不确定度在小的10~(-16)量级.作为基准频标,喷泉钟的工作介质主要是~(133)Cs,~(87)Rb.国际各大计量机构都研制了喷泉频标,它在各地协调世界时的建立、国际原子时的校准等方面发挥着越来越重要的作用.此外,喷泉频标还用于研究高精度时频基准和时间比对链路、验证基本物理理论等.     

Au(111)表面甲基联二苯丙硫醇盐单层膜的原子结构

利用第一性原理研究了甲基联二苯丙硫醇盐(BP3S)单体、虚拟Au表面BP3S的分子链和单层膜及BP3S/Au(111)吸附系统的原子结构.计算表明BP3S单体呈对称结构,两苯环夹角为35°±10°.首先BP3S单体在虚拟Au(111)表面自组装成稳定的单一分子链.然后在虚拟Au(111)表面,分子链错位排列自组装成两种稳定的单层膜.在虚拟Au(111)-(3~(1/2)×7~(1/2))和Au(111)-(3~(1/2)×13~(1/2))表面,分子链与虚拟表面夹角分别为60°和30°.最后把两种稳定的单层膜吸附在Au(111)表面的四个吸附位,计算表明只有桥位和顶位稳定,且桥位的吸附能比顶位的吸附能低.比较吸附前后BP3S单层膜的结构变化,可知其变化不大,这说明吸附系统的结构参数主要取决于单层膜内的相互作用,衬底对其的影响不大.

采用坩埚下降法成功地生长了Er~(3+)离子掺杂的Na_5Lu_9F_(32)(NLF)单晶体。测定了单晶体在400~2 500nm波段的吸收光谱与2.5~25μm红外波段的透过光谱。Na_5Lu_9F_(32)单晶体在400~7 150 nm宽波段范围具有好的光学透过性,在该波段的透过率达到90%。在透过光谱中几乎观察不到2.7μm中红外波段的吸收,说明单晶体中OH~-离子的含量极低。根据测定的吸收光谱,通过Judd-Ofelt理论计算了Er~(3+)在单晶体中的光学强度参数Ω_t(Ω_2=2.08,Ω_4=2.07,Ω_6=0.75),以及相应的辐射跃迁速率、荧光分支比和荧光寿命。根据Futchbauer-Ladenburg公式估算了样品的发射截面大约分别为1.42×10~(-20)cm~2(~4I_(13/2)→~4I_(15/2))和1.66×10~(-20)cm~2(~4I_(11/2)→~4I_(13/2))。在980 nm半导体激光器(LD)激发下,研究了单晶体的近红外1.5μm与中红外2.7μm的发射光谱特性。     

Suppression of servo error uncertainty to 10~(-18) level using double integrator algorithm in ion optical clock

A universal locking model for single ion optical clocks was built based on a simple integrator and a double integrator.Different integrator algorithm parameters have been analyzed in both numerical simulations and experiments. The frequency variation measured by the comparison of two optical clocks coincides well with the simulation results for different second integrator parameters. According to the experimental results, the sensitivity of the servo error influenced by laser frequency drift with the addition of a double integrator was suppressed by a factor of 107. In a week-long comparison of optical clocks, the relative uncertainty of the servo error is determined to be 1.9 × 10~(-18), which is meaningful for the systematic uncertainty of the transportable single ~(40)Ca~+ ion optical clock entering the 10~(-18) level.     

Vacuum Polarization Bubble Effects on the Triangle Relations for B Meson Charmless Decay Amplitudes

Assuming that factorization is valid and that contributions of the exchange, annihilation, and penguin-annihilation diagrams are negligible, we study the effects of the QCD vacuum polarization bubbles on the decay amplitudes of some B meson charmless decays into two light pseudoscalars. The bubbles have much less effects on B⁰→π⁺π^-, π^-K⁺, π⁰K⁰ than on B⁰→π⁰π⁰ thus the triangle relation √2A(B⁺→π⁺π⁰) = A(B⁰→π^-K⁺)/R_u+√2A(B⁰→π⁰K⁰)/R_u is changed slightly while √2A(B⁺→π⁺π⁰)=√2A(B⁰→π⁰π⁰)+A(B⁰→π⁺π^-) is altered significantly. This may indicate that in order to test or use these triangle relations other higher order QCD corrections should also be carefully taken into consideration.     

Joint transfer of time and frequency signals and multi-point synchronization via fiber network

A system of jointly transferring time signals with a rate of 1 pulse per second(PPS) and frequency signals of 10 MHz via a dense wavelength division multiplex-based(DWDM) fiber is demonstrated in this paper.The noises of the fiber links are suppressed and compensated for by a controlled fiber delay line.A method of calibrating and characterizing time is described.The 1PPS is synchronized by feed-forward calibrating the fiber delays precisely.The system is experimentally examined via a 110 km spooled fiber in laboratory.The frequency stabilities of the user end with compensation are1.8×10~(-14) at 1 s and 2.0×10~(-17) at 10~4 s average time.The calculated uncertainty of time synchronization is 13.1 ps,whereas the direct measurement of the uncertainty is 12 ps.Next,the frequency and 1PPS are transferred via a metropolitan area optical fiber network from one central site to two remote sites with distances of 14 km and 110 km.The frequency stabilities of 14 km link reach 3.0×10~(-14) averaged in 1 s and 1.4×10~(-17) in 10~4 s respectively;and the stabilities of 110 km link are 8.3×10~(-14) and 1.7×10~(-17),respectively.The accuracies of synchronization are estimated to be 12.3 ps for the14 km link and 13.1 ps for the 110 km link,respectively.     

An optimized ion trap geometry to measure quadrupole shifts of ~(171)Yb~+ clocks

We propose a new ion-trap geometry to carry out accurate measurements of the quadrupole shifts in the ~(171)Yb ion.This trap will minimize the quadrupole shift due to the harmonic component of the confining potential by an order of magnitude.This will be useful to reduce the uncertainties in the clock frequency measurements of the 6s ~2S_(1/2)→4f~(13)6s~2 ~2F_(7/2)and 6s ~2S_(1/2)→5d~2D_(3/2) transitions,from which we can deduce the precise values of the quadrupole moments(0s) of the 4f~(13)6s~2 ~2F_(7/2) and 5d~2D_(3/2) states.Moreover,it may be able to affirm the validity of the measured 0 value of the4f~(13)6s~2~2F_(7/2) state,for which three independent theoretical studies defer almost by one order of magnitude from the measurement.We also calculate 0s using the relativistic coupled-cluster(RCC) method.We use these 0 values to estimate the quadrupole shift that can be measured in our proposed ion trap experiment.     

Effects of a Family Non-universal Z' Boson in \bar{B}_d→μ+μ- and B- →π-μ+μ-,ρ-μ+μ- Decays

Motivated by the recently updated experimental measurement on \bar{B}_d→μ⁺μ^- and B^-→π^-μ⁺μ^- decays by CDF and Belle collaborations, we revisit these
decays, as well as B^-→ρ^-μ⁺μ^- decay, within the Standard Model, and evaluate the effects of a family non-universal Z' boson. Under the constraint from {\cal B}(B^-→π^-μ⁺μ^-), we find the ranges of the Z' couplings S^LR_μμ< -5.2×10^-2 or D^LR_μμ < -8.1× 10^-2 are excluded. Within the allowed Z' parameters spaces, comparing with the SM predictions, we find that {\cal B}(\bar{B}_d→ μ⁺μ^-, {\cal B}(B^-→ π^-μ⁺μ^-), and {\cal B}(B^-→ρ^-μ⁺μ^-) could be enhanced by a factor about
226%, 245%, and 254%, respectively, byZ' contributions. However, they are hardly to be reduced. Furthermore, the zero crossing in the normalized forward-backward asymmetry spectrum of B^- →ρ^-μ⁺μ^- decay at low dimuon mass always exists.

Research on the ions' axial temperature of a sympathetically-cooled 113Cd+ ion crystal

Molecular dynamics simulation of a sympathetically-cooled ¹¹³Cd⁺ ion crystal system is achieved. Moreover, the relationship between ions' axial temperature and different electric parameters, including radio frequency voltage and end-cap voltage is depicted. Under stable trapping condition, optimum radio frequency voltage, corresponding to minimum temperature and the highest cooling efficiency, is obtained. The temperature is positively correlated with end-cap voltage. The relationship is also confirmed by a sympathetically-cooled ¹¹³Cd⁺ microwave clock. The pseudo-potential model is used to illustrate the relationship and influence mechanism. A reasonable index, indicating ions' temperature, is proposed to quickly estimate the relative ions' temperature. The investigation is helpful for ion crystal investigation, such as spatial configuration manipulation, sympathetic cooling efficiency enhancement, and temporal evolution.
