Cooled Ion Frequency Standard.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to develop techniques to overcome the fundamental limits of present frequency standards--the second and residual first-order Doppler shifts. To this end we study suitable frequency reference transitions in ions which are stored on electromagnetic traps and cooled by radiation pressure to < 1K. Kewords include; Atomic spectroscopy; Doppler narrowing; Doppler shifts; Frequency standards; High resolution spectroscopy; Ion storage; Laser spectroscopy; Penning trap; Radiation pressure.
