Kukho abaphandi abaninzi abasebenza namhlanje ekuphuhliseni izicelo ezintsha apho banokusebenzisa isinyithi njengento enqabileyo thorium. Enkosi ngokuchanekileyo kwimifuniselo eyenziwayo ngesi sixhobo sikwazile ukuqonda ukuba sinokusetyenziselwa ukwenza isizukulwana esitsha seewotshi zeathom. Phakathi kwezinto ezikhethekileyo oluya kubonisa olu didi lutsha ngokupheleleyo lweewotshi zeathom, sifumanisa ukuba ekugqibeleni kuyenzeka ukuba kwenziwe umatshini oza kugqama ngokuchaneka ngakumbi kunalowo besiwusebenzisa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
Mandikuxelele ukuba namhlanje abantu basebenzisa inkqubo elula kakhulu ukwenza izixhobo ezichanekileyo zisebenze njengoko kufanele. Ezi wotshi, nazo, zisetyenziselwa imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo enje, umzekelo, nxibelelanisa iisathelayithi kwaye wazi indawo ezikuyo kwihlabathi. Ingcamango yokufezekisa lo msebenzi kukubetha i-electron kunye nesixa esifunekayo samandla ukuze uyinyanzele ukuba ixhume kwi-orbital yayo kwaye ibuyele kwakhona.
Ukwenza le quantum encinci itsibe, nayo, kufuna ixesha elichanekileyo kakhulu, enokubonwa kwaye isetyenziswe njengohlobo lwependulum encinci kakhulu. Injalo ke ukuchaneka kweenkqubo zangoku ezinokuthi, ngokutsho kwabaphandi, babonakale belahlekelwe isekhondi enye qho kwiminyaka engamakhulu amabini ezigidi okanye njalo, ingcombolo esinceda ngokuqinisekileyo siqonde ukuchaneka okukhulu obunokunika abantu obu bugcisa.
Iziko leMigangatho yeSizwe yase-US kunye neTekhnoloji ikholelwa ukuba ukusebenzisa i-thorium kunokusinceda senze iiwotshi ezixabisekileyo ze-quantum.
Nangona iwotshi ye-quantum inokuphulukana nesekondi enye kuphela emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amabini, inyaniso kukuba isenjalo Kukho amaziko afuna ukwenza iiwotshi zequantum zibe yinkqubo echane ngakumbi. Phakathi kwamaziko akhethekileyo, namhlanje ndifuna ukuthetha nawe malunga nomsebenzi wamva nje owenziwe liqela labaphandi abavela kwiZiko leSizwe leMigangatho kunye neTekhnoloji yase-United States, apho kupapashwe iphepha elipheleleyo elibonisa ukuba ezi nkqubo zinokubakho njani. ukuphuculwa ngokupholisa kunye nokufudumeza Ukwanda koxinaniso lwamasuntswana abandakanyekayo kuzo.
Ukuzama ukucacisa oku ngcono kancinci, uphononongo lusixelela ukuba ukuxinana kwamasuntswana apakishwe kwinucleus, njengaleyo ye athom yethorium, ikwenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuyitshintsha ngoko ke, ngokwethiyori, kunokuthetha ukuba iiwotshi zeathom ezizisebenzisayo zinokuqhubeka nokusebenza ixesha elide.
Enye yeempawu ezinkulu ezenza i-thorium ibe yinto enomdla kukuba, ngokungafaniyo nezinye izinto, ezifuna amandla anamandla okuzivuyisa, njenge-X-rays okanye imisebe ye-gamma, kunye ne-thorium kuyimfuneko kuphela ukusebenzisa ukukhanya kwe-ultraviolet, into ethi, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, iyenza ibe ngomnye wabagqatswa ababalaseleyo esinabo yenza iwotshi yeathom ebonakalayo esekwe kwinucleus yeathom.
Njengoko i-physicist iye yaphawula Ekkehard Peik:
Enkosi kobu buchwephesha butsha, sikwazile ukuphuhlisa inkqubo apho iresonance yenguqu ibukhali kakhulu kwaye inokujongwa kuphela ukuba ukuphindaphindwa kokukhanya kwelaser kuhambelana ngqo nomahluko wamandla wazo zombini ezi zizwe.
I-Thorium inokuba yimfuneko ekudalweni kwe-a iwotshi yeathom ebonakalayo esekwe kwinucleus yeathom
Ukusebenza kunye nabaphandi baseLudwig-Maximilians-Universität, ehlala kwisixeko saseJamani saseMunich, iqela lahlalutya iifom ze-metastable ze-Thorium-229 isomer, lithatha imeko evuyayo njengoko ibola kwi-athomu ye-uranium. Ngokubetha iiathom ezibanjisiweyo ngelaser kunye nokufunda ukukhanya okuveliswa zii-electron eziguqukayo, ikhomputha inokugweba unikezelo lwentlawulo kumbindi wakho.
Iziphumo zokugqibela umfanekiso ongcono wenucleus oya kunceda ukucudisa uluhlu lweefrikhwensi ezifunekayo ukususa i-nucleus yeathom ukusuka kwimeko ephantsi ukuya kweyonwabileyo., iyenza iphawule njengewotshi. Ngelishwa, ubuncinci okwangoku, akucaci ukuba ichane kangakanani iwotshi yenyukliya esekwe kwi-thorium, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo iya kuvula ifestile kwindlela entsha ngokupheleleyo yokulinganisa imizuzwana edlulayo.
