[paper] Nuclear charge radii and electromagnetic moments of radioactive scandium isotopes and isomers

Nuclear charge radii and electromagnetic moments of radioactive scandium isotopes and isomers

M. Avgoulea et al.

Collinear laser spectroscopy experiments with the Sc⁺ transition 3d4s ³D₂ → 3d4p ³F3 at λ = 363.1 nm were performed on the ^42–46Sc isotopic chain using an ion guide isotope separator with a cooler-buncher. Nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments as well as isotope shifts were determined from the hyperfine structure for five ground states and two isomers. Extensive multi-configurational Dirac–Fock calculations were performed in order to evaluate the specific mass-shift, MSMS, and field-shift, F, parameters which allowed evaluation of the charge radii trend of the Sc isotopic sequence. The charge radii obtained show systematics more like the Ti radii, which increase towards the neutron shell closure N = 20, than the symmetric parabolic curve for Ca. The changes in mean-square charge radii of the isomeric states relative to the ground states for ⁴⁴Sc and ⁴⁵Sc were also extracted. The charge radii difference between the ground and isomeric states of ⁴⁵Sc is in agreement with the deformation effect estimated from the B(E2) measurements but is smaller than the deformation extracted from the spectroscopic quadrupole moments.

[paper] Nuclear spins, magnetic moments, and quadrupole moments of Cu isotopes from N=28 to N=46: Probes for core polarization effects

Nuclear spins, magnetic moments, and quadrupole moments of Cu isotopes from N=28 to N=46: Probes for core polarization effects

doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.82.064311

Measurements of the ground-state nuclear spins and magnetic and quadrupole moments of the copper isotopes from ⁶¹Cu up to ⁷⁵Cu are reported. The experiments were performed at the CERN online isotope mass separator (ISOLDE) facility, using the technique of collinear laser spectroscopy. The trend in the magnetic moments between the N=28 and N=50 shell closures is reasonably reproduced by large-scale shell-model calculations starting from a ⁵⁶Ni core. The quadrupole moments reveal a strong polarization of the underlying Ni core when the neutron shell is opened, which is, however, strongly reduced at N=40 due to the parity change between the pf and g orbits. No enhanced core polarization is seen beyond N=40. Deviations between measured and calculated moments are attributed to the softness of the ⁵⁶Ni core and weakening of the Z=28 and N=28 shell gaps.

Shape coexistence near the N=38 shell gap: Magnetic moment of the 981.6 keV J^π=8⁺ level in ⁷²As

D. Pantelică et al.

doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.82.044313

We report on the first determination of the magnetic moment of the 981.1 keV, J^π=8⁺ level in ⁷²As, a nucleus that belongs to the A≈70 mass region dominated by rapidly changing deformations and shapes. The 8⁺ level is the bandhead of a collective sequence of positive parity levels coexisting with low-spin and medium-spin spherical shell-model states. The magnetic moment was measured by the time-integral perturbed angular distributions method to be μ=-(4.272±0.280)μ_N. This value is in disagreement with the presumed [π(1g_9/2),ν(1g_9/2)] configuration and points to a more complex configuration involving two neutrons in the 1g_9/2 orbital.

[paper] Magnetic moment of ¹⁰⁴Ag^m and the hyperfine magnetic field of Ag in Fe using nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei

Magnetic moment of ¹⁰⁴Ag^m and the hyperfine magnetic field of Ag in Fe using nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei

V.V. Golovko et al.

doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.81.054323

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR/ON) measurements with β- and γ-ray detection have been performed on oriented ¹⁰⁴Ag^g,m nuclei with the NICOLE ³He-⁴He dilution refrigerator setup at ISOLDE/CERN. For ¹⁰⁴Ag^g (I^π=5⁺) the γ-NMR/ON resonance signal was found at ν=266.70(5) MHz. Combining this result with the known magnetic moment for this isotope, the magnetic hyperfine field of Ag impurities in an Fe host at low temperature (<1 K) is found to be |B_hf(AgFe)|=44.709(35) T. A detailed analysis of other relevant data available in the literature yields three more values for this hyperfine field. Averaging all four values yields a new and precise value for the hyperfine field of Ag in Fe; that is, |B_hf(AgFe)|=44.692(30) T. For ¹⁰⁴Ag^m (I^π=2⁺), the anisotropy of the β particles provided the NMR/ON resonance signal at ν=627.7(4) MHz. Using the new value for the hyperfine field of Ag in Fe, this frequency corresponds to the magnetic moment μ(^104mAg)=+3.691(3) μ_N, which is significantly more precise than previous results. The magnetic moments of the even-A ^102-110Ag isotopes are discussed in view of the competition between the (πg_9/2)^7/2+-3(νd_5/2νg_7/2)^5/2+ and the (πg_9/2)^9/2+-3(νd_5/2νg_7/2)^5/2+ configurations. The magnetic moments of the ground and isomeric states of ¹⁰⁴Ag can be explained by an almost complete mixing of these two configurations.

g factor of the ⁴⁴Cl ground state: Probing the reduced Z=16 and N=28 gaps

M. De Rydt et al.

doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.81.034308

The g factor of the ⁴⁴Cl ground state is measured at the LISE fragment separator at the Grand Acclérateur National d’Ions Lourds (GANIL) using the β nuclear magnetic resonance technique, resulting in g(⁴⁴Cl)=(-)0.2749(2). An analysis of the g factor value and of the theoretical level scheme in the shell-model framework reveals the presence of odd-proton s_1/2 configurations and neutron excitation across the N=28 shell gap in the ground state of ⁴⁴Cl. In addition, the measured g factor strongly supports a 2^– spin assignment for the ⁴⁴Cl ground state.

Magnetic dipole moments of ^57,58,59Cu

doi: 10.1103/PhysRevC.81.014314

In-gas-cell laser spectroscopy of the isotopes ^{57,58,59,63,65}Cu 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)μ_N is proposed for ⁵⁸Cu, consistent with that of a πp_3/2⊗νp_3/2 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.

[paper] Magnetic moments of ³³Mg in the time-odd relativistic mean field approach

Magnetic moments of ³³Mg in the time-odd relativistic mean field approach

Jian Li et al.

doi: 10.1007/s11433-009-0194-y

The configuration-fixed deformation constrained relativistic mean field approach with time-odd component has been applied to investigate the ground state properties of ³³Mg with effective interaction PK1. The ground state of ³³Mg has been found to be prolate deformed, β₂=0.23, with the odd neutron in 1/2[330] orbital and the energy −251.85 MeV which is close to the data −252.06 MeV. The magnetic moment −0.9134 µ_N is obtained with the effective electromagnetic current which well reproduces the data −0.7456 µ_N self-consistently without introducing any parameter. The energy splittings of time reversal conjugate states, the neutron current, the energy contribution from the nuclear magnetic potential, and the effect of core polarization are discussed in detail.

[paper] Nuclear ground-state spin and magnetic moment of ²¹Mg

Nuclear ground-state spin and magnetic moment of ²¹Mg

J. Krämer et al.

doi: 10.1016/j.physletb.2009.06.063

We present the results of combined laser spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance studies of ²¹Mg. The nuclear ground-state spin was measured to be I=5/2 with a magnetic moment of &mul;=−0.983(7)μ_N. The isoscalar magnetic moment of the mirror pair is evaluated and compared to the extreme single-particle prediction and to nuclear shell-model calculations. We determine an isoscalar spin expectation value of 〈σ〉=1.15(2), which is significantly greater than the empirical limit of unity given by the Schmidt values of the magnetic moments. Shell-model calculations taking into account isospin non-conserving effects, are in agreement with our experimental results.

Hyperfine field of einsteinium in iron and nuclear magnetic moment of ²⁵⁴Es

N. Severijns et al.

10.1103/PhysRevC.79.064322

The angular distributions of γ rays and α particles from oriented ²⁵⁰Bk, ^253,254Es, and ²⁵⁵Fm nuclei were investigated to extract hyperfine interaction information for these actinide impurities in an iron host lattice. The hyperfine field of einsteinium in iron was found to be |B_hf(EsFe̲ |)=396(32) T. With this value the magnetic moment of ²⁵⁴Es was then determined as |μ|=4.35(41) μ_N.

[paper] Up to N³LO heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory calculation for the M1 properties of three-nucleon systems

Up to N³LO heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory calculation for the M1 properties of three-nucleon systems

Y.-H. Song et al.

10.1103/PhysRevC.79.064002

M1 properties, comprising magnetic moments and radiative capture of thermal neutron observables, are studied in two- and three-nucleon systems. We use meson exchange current derived up to N³LO using heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory à la Weinberg. Calculations have been performed for several qualitatively different realistic nuclear Hamiltonians, which permits us to analyze model dependence of our results. Our results are found to be strongly correlated with the effective range parameters such as binding energies and the scattering lengths. Taking into account such correlations, the results are in good agreement with the experimental data with small model dependence.
