Disorder-induced nuclear-transition doublet at nominally cubic Th sites

Andrei Derevianko

The Th nuclear clock transition is inhomogeneously broadened even at sites of nominally cubic symmetry, where the electric-field gradient of the ideal lattice vanishes. We…

Defect assignment of the clock site in

Daniel A. Rehn, Harry W. T. Morgan, Harris E. Mason +6

The performance of solid-state nuclear clocks depends sensitively on the microscopic environment of the thorium nucleus in the host crystal. Here we reassess the…

Ab initio calculations of Th band-to-band internal conversion rate in ThO

Udeshika C. Perera, H. B. Tran Tan, H. W. T. Morgan +3

We present an ab initio calculation of the band-to-band internal-conversion rate of the eV isomeric transition in ThO. Because the nucle…

Suppression of differential light shifts in ground and metastable trapped-ion qubits

Drew Parks, Thomas Dellaert, Patrick McMillin +3

In the presence of a magnetic field, hyperfine clock qubits can acquire a vector differential light shift that can be tuned via polarization to suppress the total differential ligh…

Electric field gradient in accurate quantum chemical calculations

Andrei Derevianko, U. C. Perera, Marek Krośnicki +3

The electric field gradients (EFGs) at the (non-spherical) nucleus contribute to atomic and molecular hyperfine structure and govern Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) and Mössbaue…

Photo-Induced Quenching of the 229Th Isomer in a Solid-State Host

J. E. S. Terhune, R. Elwell, H. B. Tran Tan +5

The population dynamics of the 229Th isomeric state is studied in a solid-state host under laser illumination. A photoquenching process is observed, where off-resonant vacuum-ultra…

229Th-doped nonlinear optical crystals for compact solid-state clocks

H. W. T. Morgan, R. Elwell, J. E. S. Terhune +5

The recent laser excitation of the 229Th isomeric transition in a solid-state host opens the door for a portable solid-state nuclear optical clock. However, at present the vacuum-u…

Coupled-cluster calculations of properties of Boron atom as a monovalent system

H. Gharibnejad, A. Derevianko

We present relativistic coupled-cluster (CC) calculations of energies, magnetic-dipole hyperfine constants, and electric-dipole transition amplitudes for low-lying states of atomic…
