Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…
Observation of the radiative decay of the nuclear clock isomer
Sandro Kraemer, Janni Moens, Michail Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +32
The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states.…
Magnesium-vacancy optical centers in diamond
Emilio Corte, Greta Andrini, Elena Nieto Hernández +18
We provide the first systematic characterization of the structural and photoluminescence properties of optically active defect centers fabricated upon implantation of 30-100 keV Mg…
An alternative approach to populate and study the Th nuclear clock isomer
M. Verlinde, S. Kraemer, J. Moens +24
A new approach to observe the radiative decay of the Th nuclear isomer, and to determine its energy and radiative lifetime, is presented. Situated at a uniquely low excitat…
