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…

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…
