In-gas-cell laser spectroscopy of the isotopes 57,58,59,63,65Cu has been performed at the LISOL facility using the 244.164-nm optical transition from the atomic ground state of copper. A detailed discussion on the hyperfine structure of 63Cu is presented. The magnetic dipole moments of the isotopes 57,58,59,65Cu are extracted based on that of 63Cu. The new value μ=+0.479(13)μN is proposed for 58Cu, consistent with that of a πp3/2⊗νp3/2 ground-state configuration. Spin assignments for the radioactive isotopes 57,58,59Cu are confirmed. The isotope shifts between the different isotopes are also given and discussed.

Using new techniques developed for measuring angular correlations with large detector arrays, the g factors of 2+ states in 140,142Xe are measured for the first time by the method of correlation attenuation in randomly oriented magnetic fields. g factors in 146Ba and 146,148Ce are measured to establish the method by comparison with previous values. The results are discussed in terms of IBM-2 and rotation-vibration models.

Green’s function Monte Carlo calculations of magnetic moments and M1 transitions including two-body meson-exchange current (MEC) contributions are reported for A≤7 nuclei. The realistic Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Illinois-2 three-nucleon potentials are used to generate the nuclear wave functions. The two-body meson-exchange operators are constructed to satisfy the continuity equation with the Argonne v18 potential. The MEC contributions increase the A=3,7 isovector magnetic moments by 16% and the A=6,7 M1 transition rates by 17–34%, bringing them into very good agreement with the experimental data.

The quadrupole moments of 76,78,80,82,84,88Kr and 74,76,78,80,82Se isotopes are investigated in terms of the interacting boson model (IBM), and it was found that a good description of them can also be concluded in this model. Before the quadrupole moments were calculated, the positive-parity states and electromagnetic-transition rates (B(E2)) of even-mass Kr nuclei have also been obtained within the framework of IBM. It was seen that there is a good agreement between the presented results and the previous experimental data. The quadrupole moments of the neighboring Se isotopes were also obtained and it was seen that the results are satisfactorily agree well with the previous experimental data.

g factor of the exotic N=21 isotope 34Al: probing the N=20 and N=28 shell gaps at the border of the "island of inversion"

For the first time the g factor of an isotope beyond N=20 near the "island of inversion" has been measured. A 34Al radioactive beam was produced in a one-neutron pickup reaction on a 36S primary beam at 77.5 MeV/u, providing a large spin-polarization for application of the β-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (β-NMR) method. The measured g factor of 34Al, |g|=0.539(2), combined with results from earlier β-decay studies, allows to firmly assign a ground state spin/parity 4. Comparison to large scale shell model calculations reveals that a dominant amount of intruder components is needed in the 34Al wave function to account for the observed large magnetic moment μ=(+)2.156(16)μN. This reveals Z=13 to be a true "transition number" between the normal Z=14 Si isotopes and the abnormal Z=12 Mg isotopes. The sensitivity of this odd–odd ground state dipole moment to the N=20, as well as the N=28 gap, reveals that both are significantly reduced, despite Z=13 being outside the conventional island of inversion.

Ground-state magnetic moments of 30Al and 32Al were measured
with the β-NMR method using radioactive-isotope beams spin-polarized in the projectile-fragmentation
reaction. Polarization of sizes |P|=0.5–1% were obtained in spite of the large numbers of nucleons
that are removed from the projectile 40Ar, providing a promising prospect that
substantial polarizations are obtained even in fragment nuclei that are far removed from the projectile nucleus.
The obtained μ moments, |μexp(30Al)|=3.010(7) μN
and |μexp(32Al)|=1.959(9) μN, are in agreement with
shell model calculations within the sd valence space, although a reduction in the energy-gap between
the sd and pf states is predicted for 32Al in recent theoretical studies.
