Nuclear forward scattering of Bessel beams in Th:CaF
Alexander Franz, Tobias Kirschbaum, Adriana Pálffy
The coherent pulse propagation of a Bessel beam resonant to the 8.4 eV nuclear clock transition in Th-doped crystals is investigated theoretically. Due to the magnetic dipo…
Density Functional Theory Study of Th-doped LiCAF and LiSAF for Nuclear Clock Applications
Martin Pimon, Tobias Kirschbaum, Thorsten Schumm +2
Thorium-doped LiCaAlF and LiSrAlF (Th:LiCAF and Th:LiSAF) are promising crystals for a solid-state nuclear clock based on the 8 eV transition in Th; however, their…
Electronic Bridge processes in Th-doped LiCAF and LiSAF
Tobias Kirschbaum, Martin Pimon, Andreas Grüneis +2
Electronic bridge mechanisms driving the Th nuclear clock transition in the vacuum-ultraviolet-transparent crystals Th:LiCAF (LiCaAlF) and Th:LiSAF (LiS…
Photoexcitation of the Th nuclear clock transition using twisted light
Tobias Kirschbaum, Thorsten Schumm, Adriana Pálffy
The Th nucleus has a unique transition at only 8 eV which could be used for a novel nuclear clock. We investigate theoretically the prospects of driving this transition wit…
