Clock-related properties of Lu+

arXiv:1806.02909 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.98.022509

Abstract

The singly-ionized lutetium has a number of fortuitous properties well suited for a design of an optical clock and corresponding applications. In this work, we study Lu+ properties relevant to a development of the clock using the relativistic high-precision method combining configuration interaction and the linearized coupled-cluster approaches. The systematic effects due to interaction of an external electric-field gradient with the quadrupole moment and the dynamic correction to the blackbody radiation shift are studied and uncertainties are estimated. The value of the 5d6s 1D_2 polarizability is predicted. We also demonstrate that Lu+ is a good candidate to search for variation of the fine-structure constant.

Section devoted to calculation of q and Q factors was revised. Misprints and inconsistency in determining the sign of the q and Q factors were corrected
