We have studied the effect of atomic electrons on the nuclear transition from the isomeric $^{229m}\mathrm{Th}$ state to the ground $^{229g}\mathrm{Th}$ state in $^{229}\mathrm{Th}$${}^{+}$ due to the electronic bridge process. The exact value of the nuclear transition frequency is unknown so far; therefore, we have developed a formalism that can …
