Laser Mössbauer spectroscopy of ^{229}Th
Takahiro Hiraki, Takahiko Masuda, Sayuri Takatori +23
Mössbauer spectroscopy is widely used in biochemistry, geology, and solid-state physics to obtain structural information on materials. Here, we extend this technique into the optic…
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…
Controlling Th isomeric state population in a VUV transparent crystal
Takahiro Hiraki, Koichi Okai, Michael Bartokos +27
The radioisotope Th-229 is renowned for its extraordinarily low-energy, long-lived nuclear first-excited state. This isomeric state can be excited by VUV lasers and the transition…
