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…

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…

Controlling Th isomeric state population in a VUV transparent crystal

Takahiro Hiraki, Koichi Okai, Michael Bartokos +27

The radioisotope Th-229 is renowned for its extraordinarily low-energy, long-lived nuclear first-excited state. This isomeric state can be excited by VUV lasers and the transition…

Spin-charge coupling and decoupling in perovskite-type iron oxides (SrBa)LaFeO

Masaho Onose, Hidefumi Takahashi, Takashi Saito +10

The perovskite-type iron oxide SrLaFeO is known to show characteristic spin-charge ordering (SCO), where sixfold collinear spin ordering and threefold charge or…

Thermodynamic Signatures of Diagonal Nematicity in RbFeAs Superconductor

Y. Mizukami, O. Tanaka, K. Ishida +10

Electronic nematic states with broken rotational symmetry often emerge in correlated materials. In most iron-based superconductors, the nematic anisotropy is oriented in the Fe-Fe…

Absolute X-ray energy measurement using a high-accuracy angle encoder

Takahiko Masuda, Tsukasa Watanabe, Kjeld Beeks +16

This paper presents an absolute X-ray photon energy measurement method that uses a Bond diffractometer. The proposed system enables the prompt and rapid in-situ measurement of phot…
