Defect Dynamics and Isomer Quenching in $^{229}$ Th:CaF $_{2}$ Crystals

Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +16

Thorium-229 doped calcium fluoride ( $^{229}$ Th:CaF $_{2}$ ) is a leading candidate for a solid-state nuclear clock, owing to the unusually low energy of the $^{229}$ Th isomer transitio…

X-ray-induced quenching of the $^{229}$ Th clock isomer in CaF $_{2}$

Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +27

Thorium-229 has the lowest nuclear-excited state (an isomer state) at approximately 8.356 eV, making it excitable with tabletop vacuum-ultraviolet lasers. Despite the recent succes…
