Abstract

Experiments are reported on the effect of buffer gases on the hyperfine frequency of rubidium 87 as used in passive rubidium frequency standards. In some mixtures of buffer gases a strong quadratic dependence of the frequency on temperature is observed. The data are explained by means of a phenomenological approach and with the help of data published previously on pure buffer gases. A comment is made on an article which appears to lead to doubtful conclusions.
