A microwave frequency standard based on laser-cooled (113)Cd(+) ions has been developed in recent years, and the short-term frequency instability is measured to be 6.1×10(-13)/√τ. By comparing the Cd(+) clock to a superior frequency reference, the ground-state hyperfine splitting of (113)Cd(+) is measured precisely to be 15199862855.0192(10) Hz with a fractional precision of 6.6×10(-14). This result is consistent with previous results, and the measurement precision is improved by nearly one order more than the best result reported before.
近年来,一种基于激光冷却的(113)Cd(+)离子的微波频率标准已被开发出来,其短期频率不稳定性经测量为6.1×10(-13)/√τ。通过将Cd(+)时钟与一个更优的频率基准进行比较,(113)Cd(+)的基态超精细分裂被精确测量为15199862855.0192(10)Hz,分数精度为6.6×10(-14)。该结果与先前的结果一致,并且测量精度比之前报道的最佳结果提高了近一个数量级。
