RESUMO
The nuclides 98Mo and 100Mo have been studied in photon-scattering experiments by using bremsstrahlung produced from electron beams with kinetic energies from 3.2 to 3.8 MeV. Six electromagnetic dipole transitions in 98Mo and 19 in 100Mo were observed for the first time in the energy range from 2 to 4 MeV. A specific feature in the two nuclides is the de-excitation of one state with spin J = 1 to the 0+ ground state as well as to the first excited 0+ state, which cannot be explained in standard models. We present a model that allows us to deduce the mixing coefficients for the two 0+ shape-isomeric states from the experimental ratio of the transition strengths from the J = 1 state to the 0+ ground state and to the 0+ excited state.
RESUMO
High-spin states in 72Br were studied with the EUROBALL III spectrometer using the 40Ca(40Ca,alpha3p1n) reaction. The negative-parity band observed in this experiment displays a signature inversion around spin I = 16. The interpretation within the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach shows that this signature pattern is a signal of a substantial triaxial shape change with increasing spin where the nucleus evolves from a triaxial shape with rotation about the intermediate axis at low spin through a collective prolate shape to a triaxial shape but with rotation about the shortest principal axis at high spin.
RESUMO
We have studied the isotopes (82)Rb45, (83)Rb46, and (84)Rb47 to search for magnetic rotation which is predicted in the tilted-axis cranking model for a certain mass region around A = 80. Excited states in these nuclei were populated via the reaction (11)B + (76)Ge with E = 50 MeV at the XTU tandem accelerator of the LNL Legnaro. Based on a γ-coincidence experiment using the spectrometer GASP we have found magnetic dipole bands in each studied nuclide. The regular M1 bands observed in the odd-odd nuclei (82)Rb and (84)Rb include B(M1)/B(E2) ratios decreasing smoothly with increasing spin in a range of 13(-) ≤ J(π) ≤ 16(-). These bands are interpreted in the tilted-axis cranking model on the basis of four-quasiparticle configurations of the type [Formula: see text]. This is the first evidence of magnetic rotation in the A ≈ 80 region. In contrast, the M1 sequences in the odd-even nucleus (83)Rb are not regular, and the B(M1)/B(E2) ratios show a pronounced staggering.
