As$^{\textrm{III}}$ Selectively Induces a Disorder-to-Order Transition in the Metalloid Binding Region of the AfArsR Protein
/ Tóth, Annamária ; Sajdik, Kadosa ; Gyurcsik, Béla ; Nafaee, Zeyad H ; Wéber, Edit ; Kele, Zoltan ; Christensen, Niels Johan ; Schell, Juliana (CERN) ; Correia, Joao Guilherme (CERN) ; Clauss, Kajsa G V Sigfridsson et al.
Arsenic is highly toxic and a significant threat to human health, but certain bacteria have developed defense mechanisms initiated by AsIII binding to AsIII-sensing proteins of the ArsR family. The transcriptional regulator AfArsR responds to AsIII and SbIII by coordinating the metalloids with three cysteines, located in a short sequence of the same monomer chain. [...]

In order to study the structural formation yield of germanium-vacancy (GeV) centers from implanted Ge in diamond, we have investigated its lattice location by using the β$^{−}$ emission channeling technique from the radioactive isotope $^{75}$Ge (t$_{1/2}$ = 83 min) produced at the ISOLDE/CERN facility. $^{75}$Ge was introduced via recoil implantation following 30 keV ion implantation of the precursor isotope $^{75}$Ga (126 s) with fluences around 2 × 10$^{12}$–5 × 10$^{13}$ cm$^{−2}$.

Magnesium-Vacancy Optical Centers in Diamond
/ Corte, Emilio ; Andrini, Greta ; Nieto Hernández, Elena ; Pugliese, Vanna ; Costa, Ângelo ; Magchiels, Goele ; Moens, Janni ; Tunhuma, Shandirai Malven ; Villarreal, Renan ; Pereira, Lino M. C. et al.
We provide the first systematic characterization of the structural and photoluminescence properties of optically active centers fabricated upon implantation of 30–100 keV Mg+ ions in synthetic diamond. The structural configurations of Mg-related defects were studied by the electron emission channeling technique for short-lived, radioactive 27Mg implantations at the CERN-ISOLDE facility, performed both at room temperature and 800 °C, which allowed the identification of a major fraction of Mg atoms (∼30 to 42%) in sites which are compatible with the split-vacancy structure of the MgV complex.

Cd implantation in α-MoO3: An atomic scale study
/ Gerami, Adeleh Mokhles (IPM, Tehran ; CERN) ; Heiniger-Schell, Juliana (CERN ; Duisburg-Essen U.) ; da Silva, E Lora (Porto U.) ; Costa, Messias S (Para U.) ; Costa, Cleidilane S (Para U.) ; Monteiro, João G (IST/ITN, Lisbon) ; Pires, José J (Lisbon, CFTP) ; Pereira, Daniela R (Lisbon, ISEL) ; Díaz-Guerra, Carlos (Madrid U.) ; Carbonari, Artur W (IPEN, Sao Paulo) et al.
Lamellar α-MoO3 crystals were implanted with low fluence of radioactive Cd111m ions at ISOLDE-CERN. Subsequently, we have probed the interaction of the Cd impurity in the lattice with native point defects, such as oxygen vacancies, as a function of annealing temperature using the time differential perturbed angular correlations nanoscopic technique.

Observation of the radiative decay of the ${}^{229}\mathrm{Th}$ nuclear clock isomer

The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (${}^{229}$Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states. For this reason, it is a leading candidate for use in next-generation optical clocks. [...]

Finding suitable p-type dopants, as well as reliable doping and characterization methods for the emerging wide bandgap semiconductor $\beta$-${\mathrm{Ga}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{3}}$ could strongly influence and contribute to the development of the next generation of power electronics. In this work, we combine easily accessible ion implantation, diffusion and nuclear transmutation methods to properly incorporate the Cd dopant into the $\beta$-${\mathrm{Ga}_{2}\mathrm{O}_{3}}$ lattice, being subsequently characterized at the atomic scale with the Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) technique and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations.

/ Haas, Heinz (CERN ; U. Aveiro (main)) ; Röder, Jens (CERN ; U. Aveiro (main)) ; Correia, Joao G (CERN ; IST, Lisbon (main)) ; Schell, J (CERN ; U. Duisburg-Essen) ; Fenta, Abel S (U.

Copenhagen (main)) ; Hemmingsen, Lars B S (U. Copenhagen (main)) et al.
Accurate nuclear quadrupole moment values are essential as benchmarks for nuclear structure models
and for the interpretation of experimentally determined nuclear quadrupole interactions in terms of
electronic and molecular structure. Here, we present a novel route to such data by combining perturbed γ-γ
angular correlation measurements on free small linear molecules, realized for the first time within this
work, with state-of-the-art ab initio electronic structure calculations of the electric field gradient at the
probe site. [...]
