摘要: The present work tests the suitability of narrow transitions 7s (2)S(1/2)-> 6d (2)D(3/2) and (2)D(5/2) in Ra(+) for optical frequency standard studies. Our calculations lifetimes metastable states using relativistic coupled-cluster theory suggest that they are sufficiently long to be considered as a potential candidate an atomic clock. This is further corroborated by our studies hyperfine interactions, dipole quadrupole polarizabilities, moments appropriate this system.
