Evidence for Shape Coexistence in Neutron-Rich Rh and Ag Nuclei
1988
Neutron-rich nuclei of Rh and Ag have been investigated by γ-ray spectroscopic measurements as well as single-particle transfer reactions like (d,3He) and (3He,d). The obtained level schemes of 105,107,109,111Rh and 113,115Ag show two different types of excitation: (I) proton-hole states related to a spherical shape of the nucleus and (II) proton-particle states with a rotational band-like structure (intruder band) pointing towards deformation of the nucleus. The “fingerprints” for such a shape coexistence and resulting systematics in these nuclei and the possible interpretation of the intruder band as a rotational band built upon the 1/2+[431] Nilsson configuration are discussed.
Collectivity in ‘‘spherical’’Eu143,144nuclei
1995
Long cascades of stretched E2 transitions have been observed in $^{143}\mathrm{Eu}$ and $^{144}\mathrm{Eu}$ nuclei which at low excitation exhibit spherical shape. Lifetime experiments demonstrate high collectivity values up to B(E2)\ensuremath{\approxeq}100 W.u. among these E2 cascades. The total Routhian surface calculations indicate many crossing rotational bands of the nucleus with triaxial shape at ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\beta}}}_{2}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.25 and \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\approxeq}30\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The E2 cascades in $^{143}\mathrm{Eu}$ are proposed to represent the \ensuremath{\nu}${\mathit{h}}_{11/2}^{2}$\ensuremath{\pi}${\mathit{h}}_{11/2}…
