Photo-Induced Quenching of the 229Th Isomer in a Solid-State Host

J. E. S. Terhune, R. Elwell, H. B. Tran Tan +5

The population dynamics of the 229Th isomeric state is studied in a solid-state host under laser illumination. A photoquenching process is observed, where off-resonant vacuum-ultra…

$^{229} ThF_{4}$ 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 $^{229}$ Th nuclear isomeric transition has recently been directly laser excited [1,2] and measured with high spectrosc…

Laser excitation of the $^{229}$ Th nuclear isomeric transition in a solid-state host

R. Elwell, Christian Schneider, Justin Jeet +6

LiSrAlF $_{6}$ crystals doped with $^{229}$ Th are used in a laser-based search for the nuclear isomeric transition. Two spectroscopic features near the nuclear transition energy are o…
