Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts

Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52

The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…

Laser Spectroscopy of Thulium Isotopes Near the Shell Closure: Nuclear Moment and Charge Radius of

Jana Weyrich, Kenneth van Beek, Harshithbabu +34

We report on resonance ionization laser spectroscopy measurements performed on both neutron-deficient and neutron-rich thulium () isotopes. Isotope shifts were d…

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…

Observation of the radiative decay of the nuclear clock isomer

Sandro Kraemer, Janni Moens, Michail Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +32

The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states.…
