- This paper was the result of a collaboration between Keele and two groups at Vienna University of Technology and concerned the development of nuclear clocks, obtained by doping calcium fluoride with the 229 isotope of Th. A unique approach of applying both atomistic modelling and DFT calculations in a concerted way, supported by experimental studies, was adopted to improve our understanding of nuclear clock materials and provided greater accuracy in the measurement of time processes. Two further papers resulted directly from this study and the work was the subject of a plenary lecture at ICDIM 2020.
