Abstract Caesium atomic fountain clock is a primary frequency standard, which realizes the duration of second. Its performance is mostly dominated by the frequency accuracy, and the C-field induced second-order Zeeman frequency shift is the major effect, which limits the accuracy improvement. By applying a high-precision current supply and high-performance magnetic shieldings, the C-field stability has been improved significantly. In order to achieve a uniform C-field, this paper proposes a doubly wound C-field solenoid, which compensates the radial magnetic field along the atomic flight region generated by the lead-out single wire and improves the accuracy evaluation of second-order Zeeman frequency shift. Based on the stable and uniform C-field, we launch the selected atoms to different heights and record the magnetically sensitive Ramsey transition $|F = 3, m_{F} = -1\rangle \to |F = 4, m_{F} = -1\rangle$ central frequency, obtaining this frequency shift as 131.03$\times $10$^{-15}$ and constructing the C-field profile ($\sigma = 0.15$ nT). Meanwhile, during normal operation, we lock NTSC-F2 to the central frequency of the magnetically sensitive Ramsey transition $|F = 3, m_{F} = -1\rangle \to |F = 4, m_{F} = -1\rangle$ fringe for ten consecutive days and record this frequency fluctuation in time domain. The first evaluation of second-order Zeeman frequency shift uncertainty is 0.10$\times $10$^{-15}$. The total deviation of the frequency fluctuation on the clock transition induced by the C-field instability is less than 2.6$\times $10$^{-17}$. Compared with NTSC-F1, NTSC-F2, there appears a significant improvement.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
