Determination of spin, magnetic moment and isotopic shift of neutron rich205Hg by optical pumping
1975
Neutron rich205Hg (T 1/2=5.2 min) was produced and on-line mass separated at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The polarization achieved by optical pumping via the atomic line (6s 21 S 0↔6s6p 3 P 1,λ=2 537A) was monitored by theβ decay asymmetry. Hyperfine structure and isotopic shift of the205Hg absorption line was determined by Zeeman scanning. In addition a magnetic resonance was performed on the polarized205Hg nuclei in the atomic ground state. The results are: $$I(^{205} Hg) = \tfrac{1}{2}$$ (confirmed);μ I (205Hg)=0.5915 (1)μ N (uncorrected for diamagnetism); isotopic shiftδv204/205=v(205Hg)-v(204Hg)=−1.8 (1) GHz.μ I and IS are discussed briefly in the frame of current literature.
EPR hyperfine structure of the Mo‐related defect in CdWO 4
2005
The hyperfine structure (hf) of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of Mo-related impurity defects in CdWO4 crystals observed previously (U. Rogulis, Radiat. Meas. 29, 287 (1998) [1]) is reconsidered taking into account interactions with two different groups of neighbouring Cd nuclei. The best fit calculated EPR spectrum to the experimental is obtained considering 2 groups of 3 and 2 equivalent Cd nuclei, respectively. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
DETERMINATION OF NUCLEAR GROUND STATE PROPERTIES FAR FROM STABILITY BY OPTICAL PUMPING
1973
The possibilities of determining nuclear spin, moments and variation in charge volume by optical pumping of on line masseparated isotopes are described for the example of the isotopic chain lY1Hg-205Hg. The variation in nuclear charge volume (6 ) along this chain and in particular its abrupt change for the lightest Hg-isotopes, indicating a phase transition in nuclear structure, are discussed. 1. Introduction. - This talk is based on expe- riments (I), (2), (3) performed recently by a visiting team (*) at the ISOLDE facility at CERN with the members : J. Bonn, G. Huber, H.-J. Kluge, U. Kopf, L. Kugler, J. Rodriguez, and E. W. Otten. The investigation of the hyperfine structure (hfs) and iso…
Muon states in metals: Recent progress
1984
We report on our results in two interesting questions related to muon spin rotation studies in condensed matter: (i) energetics of muons in metals, including lattice relaxation and zero point motion in self-trapping phenomena, and (ii) systematics of Knight shifts and hyperfine fields.
Nuclear Radii and Moments of Unstable Isotopes
1989
The development of on-line mass separators, which provide long chains of isotopes extending far off stability, immediately raised the question of how to gain access to the basic nuclear ground-state properties of these exotic nuclei—their spins, moments, radii, and masses. In general, the amount of radioactive material produced at these facilities is too small to form beams or targets for any kind of scattering or nuclear-reaction experiment. On the other hand, the traditional spectroscopic methods, namely, atomic, nuclear, and mass spectroscopy, have turned out to be very suitable for this application since they are easily adapted to the special on-line conditions.
Fission fragment anisotropy for the 242mAm fission isomer by spin exchange pumping with polarized rubidium vapour
1992
Abstract The foundations of an experiment have been worked out with which, in principle, the spin, hyperfine constants and the isomer shift of the 14 ms fission isomer 242mAm can be measured. Such an experiment would be based on the fission fragment anisotropy signal which has actually been observed in this work after spin exchange pumping with polarized rubidium vapour in an optical buffer gas cell. A decrease of the count rate of (12±4)% has been measured at 90% with respect to the quantization axis. From this result it is concluded that the nuclear spin of the 242mAm fission isomer must be larger than 1. The low-energy fission isomers originating from the 242Pu(d, 2n)242mAm reaction have…
Mg isotopes and the disappearance of magic N=20 Laser and β-NMR studies
2007
Collinear laser spectroscopy and β-NMR spectroscopy with optical pumping were applied at ISOLDE/CERN to measure for the first time the magnetic moments of neutron-rich 27Mg, 29Mg, 31Mg and 33Mg, along with the spins of the two latter. The magnetic moment of 27Mg was derived from its hyperfine structure detected in UV fluorescent light, whereas the nuclear magnetic resonance observed in β-decay asymmetry from a polarised ensemble of nuclei gave the magnetic moment of 29Mg. For 31Mg and 33Mg, the hyperfine structure and nuclear magnetic resonance gave the spin and the magnetic moment. The preliminary results for 27Mg and 29Mg are consistent with a large neutron shell gap at N=20, whereas data…
Hyperfine shifts for cesium in Argon at high density
1974
An optical pumping experiment was performed to obtain precise hfs shifts for Cs in Argon. The shifts measured include a term quadratic in the densityρ and a large temperature coefficient. The coefficients of the expansionδv/v0=a ρ+bρ2 area(80 °C)=−29.8(6)x10−9(Torr−1(0°C))b(80 °C)=+11(2)x10−14(Torr−2(0 °C)).
Precision spectroscopy at heavy ion ring accelerator SIS300
2007
Unique spectroscopic possibilities open up if a laser beam interacts with relativistic lithium-like ions stored in the heavy ion ring accelerator SIS300 at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany. At a relativistic factor gamma = 36 the 2P 1/2 level can be excited from the 2S 1/2 ground state for any element with frequency doubled dye-lasers in collinear geometry. Precise transition energy measurements can be performed if the fluorescence photons, boosted in forward direction into the X-ray region, are energetically analyzed with a single crystal monochromator. The hyperfine structure can be investigated at the 2P 1/2 - 2S 1/2 transition for all elemen…
Mössbauer Spectral Study of Two Layered Honeycomb Molecular Magnets: PPh4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 and NBu4FeIIFeIII(ox)3
2002
The Mossbauer spectra of the layer ferrimagnets PPh4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 and NBu4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 have been measured between 1.9 and 315 K. The paramagnetic spectra exhibit both high-spin iron(II) and iron(III) doublets. The iron(II) quadrupole splittings are negative and decrease substantially upon cooling as a result of a low-symmetry crystal field splitting. In contrast, the iron(III) splittings are small, positive, and virtually independent of temperature. The respective magnetic ordering temperatures of 30 and 42.5 K agree well with the phase observed by bulk magnetometry and the magnetic sextets yield hyperfine fields of ca. 60 kOe for iron(II) and 540 kOe for iron(III). The unusually low iro…
