Laser cooling and trapping techniques offer unprecedented control of an atom’s external and internal degrees of freedom. The species of interest can be selectively captured, precisely positioned, cooled close to absolute zero temperatures, and observed with high signal-to-noise ratio even down to the single-atom level. Likewise, the atom’s internal electronic and magnetic state can be...

Electric dipole moments (EDMs) are signatures of time-reversal (T), parity (P) & charge-parity (CP) violation. CP-violation beyond the Standard Model is generally believed to be required to explain the observed prevalence of matter over antimatter in the universe. Radium-225 (T_1/2 = 14.7 d, I = 1/2) is mostly sensitive to T- & P-violating interactions originating within the nucleus. The best...

The ECHo collaboration investigates the electron capture decay (EC) of Ho-163 for determining the mass of the electron neutrino. The spectrum of the EC is recorded by metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMC) and the neutrino mass is deduced from the analysis of the endpoint region of the spectrum. The required Ho-163 samples are produced by reactor activation of enriched Er-162. Co-produced...

The diffusion coefficient of lithium in solid materials used in secondary Li--ion batteries is one of key factors that determine the rate at which a battery can be charged and discharged. Nevertheless, reported lithium diffusion coefficients in Li battery materials measured with various methods are largely scattered over several orders of magnitudes, for example, 6 orders for LiCoO2 and 8...
