Successful applications of the total absorption $\gamma$-spectroscopy $(TAGS)$ for the $\beta$-decay strength function $S_{\beta}(\textit{E})$ resonance structure study, methods of $TAGS$ spectra interpretation, and results of analysis of $S_{\beta}(\textit{E})$ structure both for the Gamow-Teller $(GT)$ $ \beta^{+}/EC$ and $GT$ $\beta^{-}$ -decays were summarized in [1,2]. Development of...
The validity of the Brink-Axel hypothesis, which is especially important for numerous astrophysical calculations, is addressed for $^{116,120,124}$Sn below the neutron separation energy by means of three independent experimental methods. The $\gamma$-ray strength functions (GSFs) extracted from primary $\gamma$-decay spectra following charged-particle reactions with the Oslo method and with...

The number of metastable phases, the capriciousness at changing external conditions, and lack of accurate description of local behavior already resulted in severe misinterpretation of experimental outcomes for vanadium oxides[1–3]. The scope of already implemented and potential applications of vanadium oxides is, indeed, impressive, particularly as a battery cathode for energy...
After the theoretical prediction of Radium monofluoride (RaF) as laser-coolable molecule and a versatile probe of fundamental physics [1] the first spectroscopic identification and characterization was achieved at ISOLDE [2]. This experiment paved the way to study the nuclear structure of short lived Radium isotopes in molecular systems and presented a first step in the effort to search for...
The molecular environment around different ions in liquids and solids can be determined experimentally using the technique of β-NMR, based for example on the relaxation time T1. However, to interpret T1 correctly in liquids, one needs to take into account the underlying dynamics, which can be done by combining β-NMR results with calculations of the molecular correlation times. Several...
Transition metal oxides semiconductors (TMOs) are known for their special optical and electrical properties with wide-ranging applications, including gas sensing, storage devices such as Li-ion batteries, solar cells, and catalysts[1,2]. Among different types of TMOs, there is a class of materials that are distinguished by their unique layered structure and multiple oxidation states, such as...
The gamma-MRI is a novel imaging modality that should allow the simultaneous exploitation of the sensitivity of gamma detection (SPECT) and the spatial resolution and flexibility of MRI. The approach uses highly-polarized gamma-emitting nuclei, which exhibit anisotropic gamma-ray emission that will be used for signal detection – decrease in the number of gamma rays emitted longitudinally to...
β-NMR is a unique technique to measure various nuclear properties with a sensitivity that is up to ten orders of magnitude greater than conventional NMR. The two main factors contributing to this enhancement are optical pumping that generates a large degree of nuclear polarisation, and efficient detection of the asymmetrically emitted β-particles from the hyperpolarised decaying isotope. While...
Molecular ions containing heavy nuclei can provide advantages from an experimental and theoretical point of view compared to their neutral counterparts. With ion traps [1] the effective time that can be used for cooling of molecules is increased significantly and after steering the ions through an mass selector one is not necessarily dependent on an additional neutralization process. Meanwhile...
