Theory of internal conversion of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer in solid-state hosts
H. W. T. Morgan, H. B. Tran Tan, R. Elwell +3
Laser excitation of thorium-229 nuclei in doped wide bandgap crystals has been demonstrated recently, opening the possibility of developing ultrastable solid-state clocks and sensi…

thin films for solid-state nuclear clocks
Chuankun Zhang, Lars von der Wense, Jack F. Doyle +11
After nearly fifty years of searching, the vacuum ultraviolet Th nuclear isomeric transition has recently been directly laser excited [1,2] and measured with high spectrosc…
