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…
Laser-Induced Quenching of the Th-229 Nuclear Clock Isomer in Calcium Fluoride
F. Schaden, T. Riebner, I. Morawetz +11
The 10-minute radiative lifetime of the first excited Th nuclear state in ionic crystals provides narrow spectroscopic linewidths, enabling the realization of a soli…
Radiative Decay of the Th Nuclear Clock Isomer in Different Host Materials
S. V. Pineda, P. Chhetri, S. Bara +42
A comparative vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy study conducted at ISOLDE-CERN of the radiative decay of the Th nuclear clock isomer embedded in different host materials is…
