X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Atomic Nuclei: Larmor Precession Frequency

Atomic Nuclei: Larmor Precession Frequency

The earth's gravitational field produces a 'twisting force' perpendicular to the angular momentum of a spinning mass (such as a spinning top) that causes the mass to 'wobble' around the gravitational field axis in a phenomenon called precession. Similarly, the magnetic moment (μ) of a spinning nucleus precesses due to an external magnetic field directed along the z-axis. The precession of the magnetic moment vector about the magnetic field is called Larmor precession,...

Background:

Cold atom clocks offer high accuracy and stability but are physically large.
Portable quantum technologies require miniaturized atomic clock solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a compact atomic clock using a grating magneto-optical trap (gMOT).
To achieve a precise frequency reference suitable for portable quantum applications.

Main Methods:

Utilized a grating magneto-optical trap (gMOT) for collecting and cooling Rubidium-87 atoms to 20 µK.
Employed coherent population trapping and a Raman-Ramsey spectroscopy sequence for probing atomic transitions.
Used a ballistic drop method with short drop distances (0.5 mm).

Main Results:

Achieved a short-term fractional frequency stability of 2×10^-11/τ.
Demonstrated the feasibility of using a gMOT for precise atomic frequency references.

Conclusions:

The gMOT provides a compact optical layout for precise atomic clocks.
This approach significantly reduces the footprint of cold atom clocks, enabling portable quantum technologies.
