Interactions between Multipolar Nuclear Transitions and Gravitational Waves

Interactions between multipolar nuclear transitions and gravitational waves (GWs) are theoretically investigated. Two nonclassical scenarios of the GW detection are suggested. We demonstrate in this report that the long-lived Moessbauer nuclides of multipolar transitions are suitable transducers to detect the impinging GWs. Shape deformation and spin flip of nucleus are derived from the Hamiltonian with gravity interaction. The GWs generate a nuclear quadrupole deformation in analogy with the Stark effect, of which the electric field generates the dipole deformation of electron orbits. Likewise in analogy with the nuclear magnetic resonance that the rotating radio-frequency field flips the nuclear spin, the GWs flip the nuclear spin by the resonant helicity-rotation-gravity coupling. The high energy states of the quadrupole deformation in heavy nuclides can dramatically speed up the multipolar transitions, which may be important for the GW detection particularly in the low frequency band, ranging from 100 nHz to 1 Hz.

Rhodium Mossbauer Superradiance of Observable Gravitational Effect

We summarize the experimental observations of three case studies on the long-lived rhodium Mossbauer Effect. Extraordinary observations reported in this work manifest the open-up of photonic band gap in analogy to the superconducting gap. Observable gravitational effect is manifested by the superradiance of different sample orientations corresponding to the earth gravity. These observations are of potential importance for detecting gravitational waves and development of the two-photon gamma laser.

Gamma Standing Wave in the Photonic Crystal of Resonant Rh Nuclei

In a previous report, we have shown that the rhodium lattice consisting of resonant nuclei is an ideal photonic crystal in nature. Plenty of extraordinary observations are attributed to the collective down conversion of the multipolar nuclear transition; in particular the spontaneous open up of photonic band gap. Emissions of directionality depending on the macroscopic geometry manifest that the standing wave is global in the polycrystalline sample. In this work, further observations of the directional emissions are summarized. By applying an external magnetic field at room temperature, not only the predicted macroscopic nuclear polarization but also its strong directionality are demonstrated. The standing wave lasts for more than hundred hours at room temperature in the single crystal despite its natural half-life of one hour. The so-called nuclear Raman Effect between two M4 transitions of 193mIr and 195mPt and the E3 transition of 103mRh is discovered, which gives the brand new aspects to detect gravitational waves.

Phase Transition of Trapped Nuclear Exciton of Long-lived Rhodium Mossbauer States

We report experimental observations of the long-lived rhodium Mossbauer emissions by the time- and energy-resolved spectroscopy. The extraordinary observations manifest the open-up of photonic band gap in analogy to the superconducting gap of remarkable symmetry breakings at transition point. These observations are of potential importance for detecting gravitational waves and development of the two-photon gamma laser. Firstly, phase transitions shown by spectral evolution of characteristic emissions reveal the different aggregate exciton orderings at room temperature. Six different phases are identified by spectra profiles emitted from the color centers. Secondly, the cascade branching of the multipolar nuclear transition is discovered being the spontaneous cascade down-conversion to generate entangled gammas. The macroscopic angular distribution of entangled gammas from the polycrystalline sample manifests a global photon-nucleus-photon bound state across the grain boundaries. Thirdly, the gamma-energy distributions depending on exciton phases reveal the photonic band gap typically on the order of several hundred eV.

Rhodium Mossbauer Supperadiance Induced by Liquid-Nitrogen Cooling

In the previous report, we have demonstrated cascade branching channels of the multipolar E3 transition of rhodium Mossbauer gamma via the time- and energy-resolved spectroscopy. Moreover, superradiance in the Borrmann channel from inverted nuclei gives gamma entanglement. In this letter, we report further four observations of superradiance and its associated gamma entanglement at the liquid-nitrogen temperature, i.e. (i) speed-up decay, (ii) immediate recovery of the speed-up decay after quenching, (iii) simultaneous suppression of gamma and K lines, and (iv) enhanced multiple ionizations. Anisotropic superradiant channels open by quenching and recover back immediately after quenching. Enhanced K satellites and K hypersatellites induced by cooling are attributed to the inelastic scattering of more than three entangled gammas.

Generation of Long-Lived Isomeric States via Bremsstrahlung Irradiation

A method to generate long-lived isomeric states effectively for Mossbauer applications is reported. We demonstrate that this method is better and easier to provide highly sensitive Mossbauer effect of long-lived isomers (>1ms) such as 103Rh. Excitation of (gamma,gamma) process by synchrotron radiation is painful due mainly to their limited linewidth. Instead,(gamma,gamma') process of bremsstrahlung excitation is applied to create these long-lived isomers. Isomers of 45Sc, 107Ag, 109Ag, and 103Rh have been generated from this method. Among them, 103Rh is the only one that we have obtained the gravitational effect at room temperature.

Possible Stimulated Emission of Entangled Rhodium Mossbauer Gammas

Observation of possible stimulated emission of Mossbauer gamma is reported by liquid-nitrogen quenching of rhodium sample from room temperature to 77K in the time-resolved Mossbauer spectroscopy. Recently, we have demonstrated the anomalous emission of three entangled gammas of the E3 Mossbauer transition generated by bremsstrahlung irradiation. In this work, we further report the high-speed decay of excited state. We conjecture that cooling shrinkage, gravitational redshift and crystal lattice collimate entangled gammas in a linear cavity. This opens up a new approach towards gamma lasing, if the stimulated emission occurs at this obtained low excitation density.

Resonant Propagation of Entangled Rhodium Mossbauer Gammas

We report the resonant propagation of the long-lived Mossbauer gamma in the time-resolved Mossbauer spectroscopy. Recently, three entangled gammas emitted from the E3 rhodium Mossbauer transition has been proposed to interpret the extraordinary observations in the previous report. Further observation reported here is the dynamic beat of these entangled gammas at room temperature and 77K. Apparent beat anisotropy reveals their long-distance resonant propagation, which leads to suppressed Doppler shift of entangled photon transport in the Borrmann channel.

Inelastic Scatterings of Entangled Mossbauer Gammas

We report the observation of the temperature-dependent inelastic scattering of three entangled Mossbauer gammas in the time-resolved Mossbauer spectroscopy. Recently, the long-lived E3 Mossbauer transition of rhodium generated by bremsstrahlung irradiation has been reported. Two kinds of X-rays with the fast decay are attributed to the tri-photon effect. They are tri-photon pile-up of rhodium K X-rays and the high-Z impurity K X-rays. Energy of the particular K emission is higher than the sum energy of two Mossbauer gammas. This letter reports new discoveries by cooling down the sample using liquid nitrogen, namely the collective anomalous emission of entangled Mossbauer gammas. The enhancement of inelastic scatterings at low temperature such as rhodium K satellites is attributed to this entanglement.
