Chemical effects on nuclear decay of U isomer in the uranyl form
Y. Shigekawa, K. Sawamura, S. Hashiba +8
The nucleus of uranium-235 (U) possesses an exceptionally low-energy isomeric state, U. Unlike most radioactive nuclides, whose nuclear-decay half-lives are consta…

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…
