Laser Mössbauer spectroscopy of ^{229}Th
Takahiro Hiraki, Takahiko Masuda, Sayuri Takatori +24
Mössbauer spectroscopy is widely used in biochemistry, geology, and solid-state physics to obtain structural information on materials. Here, we extend this technique into the optic…

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…
