Electron capture (EC) decay of a Be 7 atom, the rate of which is affected by the electron density at the Be 7 nucleus, forms a Li 7 atom and emits a neutrino. Herein, we studied the …
We have calculated the effect of compressing the radioactive atoms in the crystal lattice environments on their electron capture nuclear decay rates. The electronic structure …
First-principle calculations within the density functional theory framework are used to study the probability of electron capture for the 7 Be nucleus. For this purpose, electron density at …
First-principle calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) method are adopted to investigate the influence of a strong electric field on the 7 Be half-life. Accordingly …
The radioactive decay rates are generally known to be independent of any change in the external environments such as the change in temperature or pressure. Among the various …
The decay rates of electron capture (EC) radioisotopes, such as 7 Be, are demonstratively susceptible to alteration with change to the electron orbital structure. The Cryogenic Ultra …
Silicon Surface Barrier detector has been used to study the invariance of alpha decay rate under lattice compression using unstable Astatine ions implanted in different catcher foils …
We propose to determine conclusively with a high confidence level whether the electron- capturing nuclear decay rate of 110Sn increases by a measurable percentage (≈ 0.2%) …
We propose to undertake high-precision measurements of the half-life of electron-capturing nuclear decay rate of 110Sn under compression by implanting the ions in a small lattice …
