Precision measurement of the 3D1 and 3D2 quadrupole moments in Lu+
Abstract
Precision measurements of the Lu+ 3D1 and 3D2 quadrupole moments have been carried out giving (3D1)=0.63862(74)\,e a02 and (3D2)=0.8602(14)\,e a02, respectively. The measurements utilize the differential shift between ions in a multi-ion crystal so that effects of external field gradients do not contribute leaving only the well defined Coulomb interaction. At this level of precision, hyperfine-mediated corrections will likely be important.
