Defect Dynamics and Isomer Quenching in Th:CaF Crystals
Ming Guan, Michael Bartokos, Kjeld Beeks +16
Thorium-229 doped calcium fluoride (Th:CaF) is a leading candidate for a solid-state nuclear clock, owing to the unusually low energy of the Th isomer transitio…
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…
A thorium-229 optical nuclear clock with feedback loop
L. Toscani De Col, T. Riebner, I. Morawetz +25
The laser-accessible nuclear transition in the thorium-229 isotope has been identified as a promising candidate for the realization of an optical nuclear clock. Such a nuclear cloc…
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…
