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. Keywords include: Atomic spectroscopy; Doppler narrowing; Doppler shifts; frequency standards; high resolution spectroscopy; ion storage; laser spectroscopy; Penning trap; and radiation pressure.
