Static and dynamic polarizabilities of Yb-ion]Accurate determination of black-body radiation shift, magic and tune-out wavelengths for the 6S1/2 → 5D3/2 clock transition in Yb+

Abstract

We present precise values of the dipole polarizabilities (α) of the ground [4f146s] ~ 2S1/2 and metastable [4f14 5d] ~ 2D3/2 states of Yb+, that are %vital important in reducing systematics in the clock frequency of the [4f146s] ~ 2S1/2 → [4f145d] ~ 2D3/2 transition. The static values of α for the ground and [4f14 5d] ~ 2D3/2 states are estimated to be 9.8(1) × 10-40 \,\, Jm2V-2 and 17.6(5) × 10-40\,\, Jm2V-2, respectively, while the tensor contribution to the [4f14 5d] ~ 2D3/2 state as - 12.3(3) × 10-40\,\, Jm2V-2 compared to the experimental value -13.6(2.2) × 10-40\,\, Jm2V-2. This corresponds to the differential scalar polarizability value of the above transition as -7.8(5)\,×\, 10-40\, Jm2 V-2 in contrast to the available experimental value -6.9(1.4)\,×\, 10-40\,\, Jm2V-2. This results in the black-body radiation (BBR) shift of the clock transition as -0.44(3) Hz at the room temperature, which is large as compared to the previously estimated values. Using the dynamic α values, we report the tune-out and magic wavelengths that could be of interest to subdue %major systematics due to the Stark shifts and for constructing lattice optical clock using Yb+.
