Make method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical fields of alkali metal gas chamber production, and in particular to one kind is promoted based on Plasma hydroxylating and applied
The alkali metal gas chamber production method of the anti-Relaxivity of layer, can be applied to atomic clock, in atom magnetometer alkali metal gas chamber production,
Further, it is also possible to be applied to Magneto-Optical Trap, quantum storage and slower rays experiment.
Background technique
By taking atom magnetometer as an example, the core Sensitive Apparatus of atom magnetometer is alkali metal gas chamber, and alkali metal is former in gas chamber
The polarization time of son influences the sensitivity of atom magnetometer, and the polarization time is longer, and sensitivity is higher, therefore, it is former to promote alkali metal
The polarization time of son has great significance.The collision of alkali metal atom and alkali metal air chamber wall, which will affect, shortens alkali metal atom
Polarization time, there are two types of the methods for inhibiting alkali metal atom and air chamber wall collision at present, first is that by being filled with buffer gas, such as
The gases such as Ne, He, Ar, but there is spin between buffer gas atoms and destroy collision, spin, which destroys collision, can also shorten alkali gold
Belong to the polarization time of atom;Simultaneously because buffer gas atoms limit the movement of alkali metal atom, so that movement average effect
Weaken, due to the presence of gradient magnetic, alkali metal atom has different Larmor precession frequencies in different positions, also can shadow
Ring the polarization time of alkali metal atom;Buffer gas also results in the increase of optics line width, and then reduces photon absorption cross sections product,
Buffer gas pressure is bigger, then the pump intensity needed is bigger, is unfavorable for reducing the power consumption of magnetometer.In addition to being filled with buffer gas
It is outer to reduce steep that wall collision, anti-relaxation coating, such as paraffin, organic oxosilane and alkene can also be coated in alkali metal gas chamber inner wall
Deng.Anti- relaxation coating can effectively reduce steep that wall collision;Simultaneously because alkali metal atom free movement in gas chamber, can be averaged
The influence of gradient magnetic, so that alkali metal atom Larmor precession frequency having the same;Due to there is no buffer gas, reach phase
The pumping optical power that same pumping rate needs reduces, and is conducive to atom magnetometer and reduces power consumption.In addition to the advantages described above, anti-relaxation
The application of Henan coating can also reduce the demand to pumping spot size and be conducive to the small of atom magnetometer without precisely expanding
Typeization design.
Anti- relaxation coating alkali metal gas chamber manufacturing technology mainly includes four steps: cleaning, plated film, and alkali metal is filled in solidification
Atom.Consistency using gas chamber obtained by current production method is poor, even with the gas chamber of a batch production, different gas chambers it
Between performance difference it is very big, very big reason is that the cleaning step in the anti-relaxation coating production of alkali metal gas chamber is complex,
The a large amount of manual operations of time-consuming and needs, time-consuming will cause the loss of hydroxyl quantity, cause coating covering surface uneven, bring anti-
The problem of relaxation effect difference, and manual operations can bring cleaning effect to differ greatly, the poor problem of anti-relaxation effect consistency.
Therefore high-performance is explored, the alkali metal coating of high consistency is coated with technology and has a very important significance.
Simplify cleaning step when anti-relaxation coating is coated with by using plasma cleaner, shorten gas chamber Production Time,
Greater number of hydroxyl is maintained, realizes more uniform covering surface, enhances the consistency and anti-relaxation effect of coating, is had huge
Prospect.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is overcoming the shortcomings of existing conventional method, propose a kind of based on Plasma hydroxyl

(3) the alkali metal gas chamber of high borosilicate material is placed in plasma washing machine, setting plasma washing machine is clear
Time 5min is washed, vacuum degree is less than 0.2mbar, opens vacuum pump and is evacuated to plasma cleaner, and opening and oxygenerator
The gas circuit of connection, supplies oxygen plasma cleaner, meets sets requirement to vacuum degree, plasma is excited, to alkali metal
Gas chamber carries out hydroxylating processing.
(4) solvent according to volume configuration 1 part of chloroform and 4 parts of n-hexane mixed solution as OTS.By OTS
OTS solution is configured according to the concentration of 0.8ml/L.
(5) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) magnetic stir bar is placed in configured coating reagent solution, it is stirred 60 seconds.It is described
Coating reagent is organochlorosilane class reagent, including but not limited to OTS (Octadecyltrichlorosilane), DTS
(dodecyltrichlorosilane) or BTS (Butyltrichlorosilane) reagent.
(6) the alkali metal gas chamber cleaned up is taken out, send to draught cupboard and carries out coating operation, takes out electric drying oven with forced convection
In glass capillary and glass syringe, draw coating reagent solution, will coating reagent solution inject alkali metal gas chamber in.It will

Glass surface carries out method for hydroxylation difference, and this method using plasma cleaning machine carries out hydroxylating to glass surface, by
It is thinner in alkali metal gas chamber tail pipe, it needs to use sticky " Piranha " solution after eliminating traditional hydroxylacion method cleaning
The operation of glass capillary extraction has prevented the generation for extracting the phenomenon that poking alkali metal gas chamber in " Piranha " solution processes out.
Meanwhile this method can make glass surface wash out more hydroxyls, without removing cleaning solution and subsequent drying, shorten
Hydroxyl guarantees that hydroxyl is not contaminated, further maintains more hydroxyl quantity in the extraneous time, subsequent with organochlorine silicon
During alkane reacts, the covering surface of more even uniform may be implemented, increase the surface coverage to paramagnetic impurities, enhancing applies
The anti-Relaxivity of layer.In addition, carrying out hydroxylating processing to multiple alkali metal gas chambers simultaneously, current alkali is solved to a certain extent
The problem of the anti-relaxation effect difference of metal air chamber coating plating method and manual operation bring repeatability difference.It avoids using biography
The volatile malicious chemical reagent of easy system, there is nontoxic, quick, safe, anti-relaxation effect to increase needed for " Piranha " solution allocation of uniting
Strong advantage.
