A 303-MHz hyperfine transition in the ground state of ‘Be + was used as a basis of a frequency standard. The ions were stored in a Penning ion trap. Linewidths as narrow as 900μ Hz were obtained. The frequency stability was measured to be better than 3 x 10-2T-1/2. The inaccuracy in the second-order Doppler shift was reduced to 5 parts in 1015by laser cooling. An apparent pressure shift with an unexpectedly large value was discovered which limits the accuracy of the current experiment to approximately 1 part in 1013. © 1991 IEEE
