Defect Dynamics and Isomer Quenching in Th:CaF Crystals
Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +16
Thorium-229 doped calcium fluoride (Th:CaF) is a leading candidate for a solid-state nuclear clock, owing to the unusually low energy of the Th isomer transitio…
Thorium-229 as a Phonomagnetometer
Martin Pimon, Andreas Grüneis, Thorsten Schumm +1
Thorium-229 possesses the only known low-energy nuclear transition suitable for spectroscopy with narrowband VUV lasers. While previous experiments have focused on application as a…
Density Functional Theory Study of Th-doped LiCAF and LiSAF for Nuclear Clock Applications
Martin Pimon, Tobias Kirschbaum, Thorsten Schumm +2
Thorium-doped LiCaAlF and LiSrAlF (Th:LiCAF and Th:LiSAF) are promising crystals for a solid-state nuclear clock based on the 8 eV transition in Th; however, their…
X-ray-induced quenching of the Th clock isomer in CaF
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…
