Improved design of magnetic trap system for cold atomic vacuum measurements
The technique of measuring vacuum based on the loss rate of cold atoms in magnetic trap is expected to establish a primary vacuum standard in the ultra-high vacuum/extreme-high vacuum. However, there are Majorana losses in quadrupole trap installed in current systems that can affect the accuracy of cold atom vacuum measurements. To solve this problem, we design the optimal parameters of cloverleaf trap which is suitable for vacuum measurements. The structure was designed to produce a magnetic field with the curvature of 20 G/cm2, the gradient of 23.7 G/cm, and the maximum temperature rise was evaluated to be 14.90 °C. The Majorana loss rate in the cloverleaf trap was calculated based on the loss rate equation under high temperatures (kBT>2ћω). Additionally, the number of atoms trapped in magnetic trap was estimated based on the trap depth. The results demonstrate that, under bias field of 19 G, the error in vacuum pressure inversion due to Majorana losses is as low as 2.5 × 10−12 Pa. This indicates a significant suppression of Majorana losses. The magnetic trap is capable of trapping 2.73× 106 atoms, a number sufficient to invert the vacuum pressure.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
