TDPAC andβ-NMR applications in chemistry and biochemistry

“…The NQI is proportional [15]; μ values were collected from 'table of nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments', Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables [16]; Q values were collected from 'table of nuclear electric quadrupole moments', Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables [15]. Data presented for (a) 68 Cu are from [17], for (b) 111 Cd from [18] and for (c) the half-life of 172 Yb from [19,20]. IT-isomeric transition, EC-electron capture, β − (electron) emission.…”

“…At ISOLDE other interesting TDPAC isotopes, still not used in chemistry or biochemistry, have been characterised recently, such as the rare-earth 172 Lu/Yb (t 1/2 =6.7 d) decaying by electron capture [20]. In 2014, a proof of principle experiment using 68m Cu/Cu (t 1/2 =3.75 min) isotope for TDPAC spectroscopy [17] was conducted, aiming towards new experiments in both solid state physics and chemistry.…”

Exploiting Radioactive Isotopes: from Pollutant Tracking to Solid State Studies Using a Combined Ab Initio and PAC Approach

“…68m Cu/ 68 Cu isotope was recently produced at the ISOLDE facility and used in PAC experiments for the first time. Its characteristic properties were measured with the experiments in simple materials (Cu 2 O; Cu and Ni foils) used to determine the nuclear moments …”

New laser polarization line at the ISOLDE facility

“…It is equipped with a small window, where the laser light enters to interact with the ions in the overlapping region downstream of the deflector. The 5°deflector was installed in 2014, before the first online run at VITO, which used unpolarized 68m Cu for online perturbed angular correlation studies [AF16]. The beam-diagnostics box installed behind it hosts a variable aperture and a metal plate from which the ion current can be read out.…”
