Host-dependent frequency offsets in Th nuclear clockwork
U. C. Perera, H. W. T. Morgan, Eric R. Hudson +1
Recent advances in laser excitation of the low-energy nuclear isomer transition in Th have opened avenues for developing nuclear clocks, a novel quantum technology with exc…
A cryogenic Paul trap for probing the nuclear isomeric excited state Th
Daniel Moritz, Kevin Scharl, Markus Wiesinger +16
While laser excitation of the nuclear isomeric transition in Th has been recently achieved for thorium atoms embedded in large-bandgap crystals, laser excitation and charac…
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…
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…
A spinless crystal for a high-performance solid-state Th nuclear clock
Harry W. T. Morgan, James E. S. Terhune, Ricky Elwell +5
Solid-state Th nuclear clocks require a host material whose band gap is larger than the 8.4 eV nuclear transition energy. As such, excitation of the Th nuclear stat…
