Defect assignment of the clock site in
Daniel A. Rehn, Harry W. T. Morgan, Harris E. Mason +6
The paper reexamines which crystal defect hosts the 229Th nucleus in CaF2, showing that an isolated Th4+ substituting for Ca2+ with two nearby fluoride interstitials best explains…

Laser excitation of the Th nuclear isomeric transition in a solid-state host
R. Elwell, Christian Schneider, Justin Jeet +6
LiSrAlF crystals doped with Th are used in a laser-based search for the nuclear isomeric transition. Two spectroscopic features near the nuclear transition energy are o…
