Th Nuclear Spectroscopy in an Opaque Material: Laser-Based Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy of ThO
Ricky Elwell, James E. S. Terhune, Christian Schneider +11
Here, we report the first demonstration of laser-induced conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy of the Th nuclear isomeric state, which provides the ability to probe t…
