Abstract

We measure the dynamic differential scalar polarizabilities at 10.6 μ\mum for two candidate clock transitions in 176Lu+^{176}\mathrm{Lu}^+. The fractional black body radiation (BBR) shifts at 300 K for the 1S03D1^1S_0 \leftrightarrow {^3D_1} and 1S03D2^1S_0 \leftrightarrow {^3D_2} transitions are evaluated to be 1.36(9)×1018-1.36\,(9) \times 10^{-18} and 2.70(21)×10172.70 \,(21) \times10^{-17}, respectively. The former is the lowest of any established optical atomic clock.
