The crystalline electric field (CEF) is investigated in Pr$_3$Pt$_{23}$Si$_{11}$ and Nd$_3$Pt$_{23}$Si$_{11}$ by neutron spectroscopy (NS). At low temperature, the number of observed CEF excitations is consistent with the orthorhombic…
Understanding the origin of the elements has been a decades long pursuit, with many open questions still remaining. Old stars found in the Milky Way and its dwarf satellite galaxies can provide answers because they preserve clean elemental…
The rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is responsible for the creation of roughly half of the elements heavier than iron, including precious metals like silver, gold, and platinum, as well as radioactive elements such as thorium and…
