Being the lightest radioactive nuclide that decays by EC with a half-life of about 53 d,7Be is a good candidate for studying the perturbation of nuclear decay rates.The nucleus 7Be decays to the first

Electron capture (EC) decay rates depend sensitively on the density of atomic electrons within the nucleus. Thus, physically and chemically environmental factors which can change electron densities,
