    摘要:

    铯原子喷泉钟是基于原子内部量子跃迁而实现的标准频率信号发生装置,是目前通用的频率基准。超低温铯原子喷泉钟是铯原子工作于液氮温度的特殊类型,其特点是工作在液氮温度下(80 K),能够使铯原子的黑体辐射频移<1×10-16,从而近乎消除了黑体辐射频移的影响,同时铯原子喷泉钟的腔相位频移和背景气体碰撞频移会有大幅度的改善,有望将铯原子喷泉钟的系统频率不确定度降低至2×10-16以下。磁屏蔽装置是喷泉钟物理系统的重要组成部分,磁屏蔽装置的性能影响喷泉钟的磁场频移和不确定度的指标。由于在谐振腔和原子飞行区的外围设置了液氮杜瓦夹层,液氮进出管道需要穿透多层磁屏蔽,超低温铯原子喷泉钟的磁屏蔽结构相对常温喷泉钟更加复杂,研制难度更大。针对超低温铯喷泉钟的空间结构和应用需求,设计了相应的磁屏蔽装置,应用仿真计算确定了磁屏蔽装置的最佳层数、厚度、尺寸、层间间隔等参数。依据设计完成了磁屏蔽装置的加工。对加工成型的磁屏蔽装置进行了高温消磁和交流消磁处理,经过测试,磁屏蔽装置核心区域径向磁场变化<0.1 nT,轴向磁场变化<1.3 nT,两端屏蔽因子>10 000,中心屏蔽因子>60 000,满足超低温铯原子喷泉钟的应用需求。

    Abstract:

    The cesium atomic fountain clock is a standard frequency signal generation device based on the internal quantum transition of atoms and is currently the universal frequency standard. The ultra-low temperature cesium atomic fountain clock is a special type in which cesium atoms operate at liquid nitrogen temperature(80 K), which effectively reduces the blackbody radiation frequency shift to less than 1×10-16, nearly eliminating the influence of this shift. The cavity phase frequency shift and background gas collision frequency shift of the cesium atomic fountain clock will be greatly improved, with the potential to reduce the systematic frequency uncertainty of the cesium atomic fountain clock to below 2 × 10-16. The magnetic shielding device is an important part of the physical system of the fountain clock. The performance of the magnetic shielding device affects the magnetic field frequency shift and uncertainty index of the fountain clock. Since a liquid nitrogen Dewar interlayer is set on the periphery of the resonant cavity and the atomic flight area, the liquid nitrogen inlet and outlet pipes need to penetrate multiple layers of magnetic shielding. The magnetic shielding structure of the ultra-low temperature cesium atomic fountain clock is more complex than that of the room temperature fountain clock, and the development difficulty is greater. In this paper, according to the spatial structure and application requirements of the ultra-low temperature cesium fountain clock, a corresponding magnetic shielding device is designed. The optimal parameters such as the number of layers, thickness, size, and interlayer spacing of the magnetic shielding device are determined by simulation calculation. The magnetic shielding device is processed according to the design. The processed magnetic shielding device is subjected to high-temperature demagnetization and AC demagnetization treatment. After testing, the radial magnetic field change in the core area of the magnetic shielding device is less than 0.1 nT, the axial magnetic field change is less than 1.3 nT, the shielding factor at both ends is greater than 10 000, and the central shielding factor is greater than 60 000, which meets the application requirements of the ultra-low temperature cesium atomic fountain clock.
