Optical Lattice Clock Employs Ytterbium-174

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
An optical lattice atomic clock built by a collaboration of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo., and from the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Science’s Institute of Laser Physics in Novosibirsk demonstrates that it should be possible to use even-numbered isotopes of neutral atoms in the instruments, improving their accuracy and short-term stability. The work was reported in the March 3 issue of Physical Review Letters. Such clocks, in which the cold clouds of atoms that serve as the oscillator are trapped in a 1-D optical...Read full article
