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…

Frequency ratio of the Th nuclear isomeric transition and the Sr atomic clock

Chuankun Zhang, Tian Ooi, Jacob S. Higgins +9

Optical atomic clocks use electronic energy levels to precisely keep track of time. A clock based on nuclear energy levels promises a next-generation platform for precision…
