Exploring Topological Effects in Thin-Film X-Ray Cavities
Hanns Zimmermann, Jonathan Sturm, Ion Cosma Fulga +2
Quantum control of single x-ray photons can be achieved using thin-film nanostructure cavities with embedded layers of resonant nuclei. Here, we design and theoretically investigat…
Driven electronic bridge processes via defect states in Th-doped crystals
Brenden S. Nickerson, Martin Pimon, Pavlo V. Bilous +7
The electronic defect states resulting from doping Th in CaF offer a unique opportunity to excite the nuclear isomeric state Th at approximately 8 eV via elect…
Nuclear clocks for testing fundamental physics
E. Peik, T. Schumm, M. S. Safronova +3
The low-energy, long-lived isomer in Th, first studied in the 1970s as an exotic feature in nuclear physics, continues to inspire a multidisciplinary community of physicist…
Electronic bridge excitation in highly charged Th-229 ions
Pavlo V. Bilous, Hendrik Bekker, Julian Berengut +6
The excitation of the 8 eV Th isomer through the electronic bridge mechanism in highly charged ions is investigated theoretically. By exploiting the rich level scheme of o…
Can extreme electromagnetic fields accelerate the decay of nuclei?
Adriana Pálffy, Sergey V. Popruzhenko
The possibility to control the decay channel of atomic nuclei with electromagnetic fields of extreme intensities envisaged for the near future at multi-petawatt and exawatt las…
Mo isomer depletion via beam-based nuclear excitation by electron capture
Yuanbin Wu, Christoph H. Keitel, Adriana Pálffy
A recent nuclear physics experiment [C. J. Chiara {\it et al.}, Nature (London) {\bf 554}, 216 (2018)] reports the first direct observation of nuclear excitation by electron captur…
