A rubidium vapor source for a plasma source for AWAKE

We present the scheme for a rubidium vapor source that is used as a plasma source in the AWAKE plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. The plasma wakefield acceleration process requires a number of stringent parameters for the plasma: electron density ad ...

J1−J2 square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets with 4d1 spins: AMoOPO4Cl (A=K,Rb)

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich

Magnetic properties of AMoOPO4Cl (A=K,Rb) with Mo5+ ions in the 4d1 electronic configuration are investigated by magnetization, heat capacity, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on single crystals, combined with powder neutron diffraction ex ...

Resonant structures for vapor-cell atomic clocks

Anton Evgeniev Ivanov

Vapor-cell atomic clocks based on double resonance are high-precision instruments that have strong potential for industrial commercialization. They offer performance which is superior to quartz oscillators and are already employed for synchronization-deman ...

Study of Field Misalignment in a Cavity Used for Atomic Clock Applications

Anja Skrivervik

In vapor cell atomic clocks the atom-field interaction is typically obtained inside a microwave cavity resonator in which the microwave driving field together with a static magnetic field and an optical field are applied to excite the atoms. These fields a ...

Microwave Cavity Characterization for Rubidium Frequency Standards

Anton Evgeniev Ivanov

We report our studies on the new designed magnetron-type microwave cavity operating in the TE011-like mode, at the rubidium hyperfine ground-state frequency of about 6.835 GHz. The properties of the cavity resonance were studied as a function of cavity tem ...

Scanning thermal probe microscope method for the determination of thermal diffusivity of nanocomposite thin films

Jürgen Brugger, Khushboo Agarwal

A commercial scanning thermal microscope has been upgraded to facilitate its use in estimating the radial thermal diffusivity of thin films close to room temperature. The modified setup includes a microcontroller driven microhotplate coupled with a Bluetoo ...

Incorporation of aluminium in calcium-silicate-hydrates

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was synthetized at 20 degrees C to investigate the effect of aluminium uptake (Al/Si = 0-0.33) in the presence and absence of alkalis on the composition and the solubility of a C-S-H with a Ca/Si equal to 1.0. C-S-H incorpo ...

Picosecond solvation dynamics of alkali cations in superfluid 4He nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The dynamics following the photoionization of neutral Rb and Cs atoms residing in a dimple at the surface of a superfluid 4He1000 nanodroplet has been investigated within time-dependent density functional theory, complementing a previous study on Ba. The c ...

Compact High-Performance Continuous-Wave Double-Resonance Rubidium Standard With 1.4 x 10(-13) tau(-1/2) Stability

Anja Skrivervik, Francesco Merli, Camillo Stefanucci

We present our studies on a compact high-performance continuous wave (CW) double-resonance (DR) rubidium frequency standard in view of future portable applications. Our clock exhibits a short-term stability of 1.4 x 10(-13) tau(-1/2), consistent with the s ...

Experimental tests of an advanced proton-to-neutron converter at ISOLDE-CERN

The suppression of isobaric contaminations is of growing importance for many scientific programs using radioactive isotopes produced at isotope separation on-line (ISOL) facilities, such as ISOLDE-CERN. A solid tungsten proton-to-neutron converter has been ...

Integrated packaging solutions and hotplates for a miniature atomic clock and other microsystems

Fabrizio Vecchio

This thesis aimed at developing innovative packaging solutions for a miniature atomic clock and other microsystems in the cm-scale, i.e. somewhat larger than what is practical for full "chip-scale" device-package integration using clean-room technologies f ...

Study of laser-pumped double-resonance clock signals using a microfabricated cell

Nico de Rooij, Yves Pétremand

We present our microwave spectroscopic studies on laser-microwave double-resonance (DR) signals obtained from a micro-fabricated Rb vapor cell. This study focuses on the characteristics and systematic shifts of the ground-state 'clock transition' in Rb-87 ...

New miniaturized microwave cavity for Rubidium atomic clocks

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Francesco Merli, Maddalena Violetti

Nowadays there is an increasing need for radically miniaturized and low-power atomic frequency standards, for use in mobile and battery-powered applications. For the miniaturization of double-resonance (DR) Rubidium (Rb-87) atomic clocks, the size reductio ...

Développement d'un appareillage pour l'étude de la polarisation optique de l'hélium-3 et de sa relaxation par des surfaces

We have developed an apparatus to polarize 3He gas (at a few torrs pressure) by optical pumping from a 4He light source and to measure the evolution of the magnetic moment for relaxation studies. The magnetic moment is measured by applying a pulse of radio ...
