Precision measurement of the $^{43}$Ca$^{+}$ nuclear magnetic moment
Abstract
We report precision measurements of the nuclear magnetic moment of \textsuperscript{43}Ca\textsuperscript{+}, made by microwave spectroscopy of the 4s S ground level hyperfine clock transition at a magnetic field of 146 G, using a single laser-cooled ion in a Paul trap. We measure a clock transition frequency of Hz, from which we determine , where the uncertainty (9) arises from uncertainty in the hyperfine constant, and the (1) arises from the uncertainty in our measurement. This measurement is not corrected for diamagnetic shielding due to the bound electrons. We make a second measurement which is less precise but agrees with the first. We use our value, in combination with previous NMR results, to extract the change in shielding constant of calcium ions due to solvation in DO: .
