Given the drastic progress achieved during recent years in our knowledge on the decay and nuclear properties of the thorium isomer 229mTh, the focus of research on this potential nuclear clock transition will turn in the near future from…
Structural phase transitions are accompanied by a movement of one nucleus (or a few) in the crystallographic unit cell. If the nucleus movement is continuous, a second order phase transition without latent heat results, whereas an abrupt…
