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.     

Strong Decays of Charm Mesons D_1~*(2680), D_3~*(2760), D_2~*(3000)

In this article, we assign the higher charm mesons D1_*(2680), D3_*(2760) and D2_*(3000) to be the 2S 1~-, 1D3~- and 1F 2~+ states, respectively, and study the two-body strong decays to the ground state charm mesons and light pseudoscalar mesons with the heavy meson effective theory. We obtain the ratios among the strong decays, which can be confronted to the experimental data in the future and shed light on the nature of those higher charm mesons.

利用光吸收技术测量钠蒸汽密度。在3×101~(11)到1.2×10~(12)cm~(-3)的密度范围内,将激光调谐到钠D_2线紫(红)端约70GHz,记录激光频率的Rayleigh散射,直接(D_2线)荧光和敏化(D_1线)荧光的强度。获得D_2线共振自增宽率系数k_(br,2)=5.44×10~(-7)cm~3/S±15%。给出了不同密度下Na(3P_(3/2))+Na(3S)Na(3P_(1/2))+Na(3S)的碰撞转移率。得到了在T≈184℃时碰撞转移截面σ_(21)=1.99nm±29%。并与其他的实验结果和理论作了比较。     

Measurement of the (199)Hg+ 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) electric quadrupole moment and a constraint on the quadrupole shift

The electric-quadrupole moment of the (199)Hg+ 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) state is measured to be theta(D,5/2) = -2.29(8) x 10(-40) C m2. This value was determined by measuring the frequency of the (199)Hg+ 5d10 6s (2)S(1/2) --> 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) optical clock transition for different applied electric-field gradients. An isolated, mechanically stable optical cavity provides a frequency reference for the measurement. We compare the results with theoretical calculations and discuss the implications for the accuracy of an atomic clock based upon this transition. We now expect that the frequency shift caused by the interaction of the quadrupole moment with stray electric-field gradients will not limit the accuracy of the Hg+ optical clock at the 10(-18) level.

Highly sensitive photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold ~(23)Na~(133)Cs molecular long-range states below the 3S_(1/2)+6P_(3/2)limit

We present high resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of ultracold~(23)Na~(133)Cs molecules in a long-range c~3Σ~+state below the(3 S_(1/2)+ 6 P_(3/2)) asymptote. We perform photoassociation spectroscopy in a dual-species magneto-optical trap(MOT) and detect the photoassociation resonances using trap-loss spectroscopy. By fitting the experimental data with the semi-classical Le Roy–Bernstein formula, we deduce the long-range molecular coefficient C6 and derive the empirical potential energy curve in the long-range region.

Photoassociation spectra of ultracold ~(85)Rb_2 molecule in 0_u~+ long range state near the 5S_(1/2)+ 5P_(1/2) asymptote

We investigate the high resolution photoassociation spectra of ~(85)Rb_2 molecules in 0~+_u long range state below the(5S_(1/2)+ 5P_(1/2)) asymptote. The ~(85)Rb atomic samples are trapped in a dark magneto–optical trap(MOT) and prepared in the dark state. With the help of trap loss technique, we obtain considerable photoassociation spectroscopy with rovibrational resolution, some of which have never been observed before. The observed spectrum is fitted by a rigid rotation model, and the rotational constants of ultracold ~(85)Rb_2 molecule in long range 0~+_u are obtained for different vibrational states. By applying the Le Roy–Bernstein method, we assign the vibrational quantum numbers and derive C_3 coefficient, which is used to obtain the potential energy curve.     

Determination of hyperfine structure constants of 5D_(5/2) and 7S_(1/2) states of rubidium in cascade atomic system

We present a method to precisely determine the hyperfine structure constants of the rubidium 5D_(5/2) and 7S_(1/2) states in a cascade atomic system. The probe laser is coupled to the 5S_(1/2)→ 5P_(3/2) hyperfine transition, while the coupling laser is scanned over the 5P_(3/2)→ 5D_(5/2)(7S_(1/2)) transition. The high-resolution double-resonance optical pumping spectra are obtained with two counter-propagating laser beams acting on rubidium vapor. The hyperfine splitting structures are accurately measured by an optical frequency ruler based on the acousto-optic modulator, thus, the magnetic dipole hyperfine coupling constant A and quadrupole coupling constant B are determined. It is of great significance for the atomic hyperfine structure and fundamental physics research.     

Two-Photon Transitions of ~(85)Rb 5D_(5/2) State by Using an Optical Frequency Comb and a Continuous-Wave Laser

A high-resolution two-photon spectrum of 5S_(1/2) → 5P_(3/2)→ 5D_(5/2) transitions in a thermal ~(85)Rb vapor cell is presented by using an optical frequency comb and a cw laser.The fluorescence of 6P_(3/2) → 5S_(1/2) spontaneous emission is detected when the cw laser frequency is scanned from the 5S_(1/2) ground state to 5P_(3/2) hyperfine levels and the optical frequency comb repetition rate is fixed.The hyperfine splittings(F_f = 2-5) of the 5D_(5/2) excited state are well resolved.The dependences of fluorescence intensities on the cw laser intensity and temperature of~(85)Rb vapor cell are studied,respectively.The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analyses.

A more accurate coefficient (c 3 ) is obtained for the leading long-range potential (-c 3 /R 3 ) of a diatomic molecule.

Electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments of the first excited 2+ states of186Os and188Os

The spectroscopic quadrupole moments and the magnetic dipole moments of the lowest 2⁺ states in¹⁸⁶Os (137 keV) and¹⁸⁸Os (155 keV) have been determined by Mößbauer transmission experiments. The electric quadrupole momentsQ ₂₊(Os 186)=? (1.80±0.22) b andQ ₂₊(Os 188)=?(1.81±0.24) b as well as their ratioQ ₂₊(Os 188)/Q ₂₊(Os 186)=1.00±0.07 within the limits of error agree withB(E2) data, if a comparison on the basis of the rotational model is made. For the g-factors and their ratio g₂₊(Os 186)=0.281±0.008, g₂₊(Os 188)=0.305±0.015 andg ₂₊(Os 188)/g ₂₊(Os 186)=1.08±0.05 was obtained. All results are compared with recent model calculations.     

Transition magnetic moments of J~P=3/2~+ decuplet to J~P=1/2~+ octet baryons in the chiral constituent quark model

In light of the developments of the chiral constituent quark model(χ~(CQM)) in studying low energy hadronic matrix elements of the ground-state baryons, we extend this model to investigate their transition properties.The magnetic moments of transitions from the J~P=3/2~+ decuplet to J~P=1/2~+ octet baryons are calculated with explicit valence quark spin, sea quark spin and sea quark orbital angular momentum contributions. Since the experimental data is available for only a few transitions, we compare our results with the results of other available models. The implications of other complicated effects such as chiral symmetry breaking and SU(3) symmetry breaking arising due to confinement of quarks are also discussed.     

Semileptonic Decays of B_s~(**) Mesons into D_(s1) and D_(s2)~* in HQET

Magic wavelengths for the 7s_(1/2)6d_(3/2,5/2)transitions in Ra~+

The dynamic polarizabilities of the 7s and 6d states of Ra~+are calculated using a relativistic core polarization potential method.The magic wavelengths of the 7s_(1/2)–6d_(3/2,5/2)transitions are identified.Comparing to the common radiofrequency(RF) ion traps,using the laser field at the magic wavelength to trap the ion could suppress the frequency uncertainty caused by the micromotion of the ion,and would not affect the transition frequency measurements.The heating rates of the ion and the powers of the laser for the ion trapping are estimated,which would benefit the possible precision measurements based on all-optical trapped Ra+.

The magnetic and quadrupole moments of the Z_c(4020)⁺,Z_c(4050)⁺,and Z_c(4600)⁺ states are calculated within the QCD light-cone sum rules.The compact diquark-antidiquark interpolating currents and the distribution amplitudes of the on-shell photon are used to extract the magnetic and quadrupole moments of these states.The magnetic moments are acquired as μ_Zc=0.50_-0.22^+0.22μ_N,μ     

Efficient up-conversion Yb~(3+), Er~(3+) co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystal for photovoltaic application under solar cell spectrum excitation

Yb~(3+)/Er~(3+)co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals used as a spectral up-converter to improve the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells are prepared via an improved Bridgman approach. Green and red up-conversion(UC) emissions under the excitation of near-infrared(NIR) bands of 900–1000 nm and1400–1600 nm can be observed. The effectiveness of the prepared materials as a spectral converter is verified by the enhancement of power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. The sample with a UC layer is 15.5%more efficient in converting sunlight to electricity compared to the UC layer-free sample due to the absorption of sunlight in the NIR range. The results suggest the synthesized Yb~(3+)/Er~(3+)co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals are suitable for enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells.     

Analysis of (1/2)~+ baryon states containing fourth-family quarks from QCD sum rules

When the fourth generation of quarks have sufficiently small mixing with ordinary standard-model quarks, the hadrons made up from these quarks can be long-lived enough. We analyze the (1/2)⁺ baryon states containing fourth-generation quarks and standard-model quarks, i.e. the charm or bottom quarks, in the QCD sum rules approach. Considering the perturbative and two gluon condensate contributions in the calculation, we give the numerical results of the masses and pole residues.
