Description

A laser-microwave double-resonance experiment on electrodynamically trapped /sup 173/Yb+ ions has been performed and a value of Δν/sub hfs/ = 10 491 720 239.55 +- 0.09 Hz for the ground-state hyperfine separation has been determined. This value is corrected for small Zeeman and second-order Doppler shifts. Combined with a previous similar measurement on /sup 171/Yb+ and with the known g/sub I/ values of both isotopes, we obtain a value of -0.004 25(6) for the differential hyperfine anomaly /sup 171/Δ/sup 173/
