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…

Toward nanophotonic platforms for solid-state Th nuclear clocks
Sandro Kraemer, Karen Mamian, Toby Bi +18
While the Th nuclear isomer has recently been observed and laser-excited, converting optical nuclear manipulation into a chip-scale solid-state frequency standard remains a…

A cryogenic Paul trap for probing the nuclear isomeric excited state Th
Daniel Moritz, Kevin Scharl, Markus Wiesinger +16
While laser excitation of the nuclear isomeric transition in Th has been recently achieved for thorium atoms embedded in large-bandgap crystals, laser excitation and charac…
