Continuous-wave laser absorption spectroscopy of the Thorium-229 nucleus
I. Morawetz, T. Riebner, L. Toscani De Col +17
A low-energy nuclear transition in the isotope thorium-229 has been excited in thorium-doped crystals with laser light. This opens the perspective towards a highly stable and robus…
Toward nanophotonic platforms for solid-state Th nuclear clocks
Sandro Kraemer, Karen Mamian, Toby Bi +18
While the Th nuclear isomer has recently been observed and laser-excited, converting optical nuclear manipulation into a chip-scale solid-state frequency standard remains 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…
Electronic Bridge processes in Th-doped LiCAF and LiSAF
Tobias Kirschbaum, Martin Pimon, Andreas Grüneis +2
Electronic bridge mechanisms driving the Th nuclear clock transition in the vacuum-ultraviolet-transparent crystals Th:LiCAF (LiCaAlF) and Th:LiSAF (LiS…
