Excitation functions for production of heavy residues in the interaction of12C with181Ta

The excitation functions for production of 21 isotopes and isomers of Au, Pt, Ir, Os and Re in the interaction of¹²C with¹⁸¹Ta from 54 to 98 MeV incident energy have been measured by the activation technique. The analysis of these data allows one to estimate the reaction cross-section and the cross-sections for complete fusion of¹²C and the incomplete fusion of⁸Be and fragments with tantalum.     

The magnetic hyperfine field at181Ta impurities in the 4f-ferromagnets Ho and Er

The magnetic hyperfine fieldH _hf at¹⁸¹Ta impurities in the ferromagnetic Rare Earth metals Ho and Er has been determined by time differential perturbed angular correlation measurements at 4.2 K. The results |H _hf(TaHo)|=101(8)kG |H _hf(TaEr)|= 94(8)kG together with the previously determined values ofH _hf(TaGd) andH _hf(TaDy) show that the magnetic hyperfine field at Ta impurities in the Rare Earth metals is predominantly due to the conduction electron polarization of the hosts.     

Hyperfine and Zeeman studies of low-lying atomic levels of181Ta and the nuclear electric quadrupole moment

The hyperfine structure of the atomic levels 5d ³ 6s ^{2 4} F _{7/2, 9/2} and⁴ P _1/2 in¹⁸¹Ta has been studied by atomic-beam magnetic-resonance. Using intermediate coupling wave functions derived for the configurations (5d+6s)⁵ the hyperfine structure data of six low-lying metastable states have been analyzed with respect to the effective operator formalism. The effective radial parameters for the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole interactions are determined from these measurements and compared with relativistic calculations. The value obtained for the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the¹⁸¹Ta nuclear ground state is Q_hfs=3.44(17) barn (uncorrected for configuration interaction effects).     

The magnetic hyperfine field and the electric field gradient at181Ta impurities in Gd metal

The magnetic hyperfine fieldH _hf and the electric field gradientV _zz at¹⁸¹Ta impurties in metallic Gd were determined by time differential perturbed angular correlation measurements with the 133 keV K-conversion electron 482 keV -cascade of¹⁸¹Ta. The sources for these measurements were prepared by implantation of radioactive¹⁸¹Hf ions into Gd. The results are: |H _hf(TaGd; 77 K)|=285(14)kG, and |V _zz(TaGd; 330 K)|=5.32(15)·10¹⁷V/cm². The value ofH _hf fits well into the systematics for 5d impurities in Gd and indicates a positive core polarisation contribution, which is expected if the conduction electrons of Gd have to a large extent d-character. The electric field gradients of the 5d impurities in Gd are not consistent with a proportionality between the ionic and the electronic contribution.     

Direct measurement of the nuclear magnetic dipole moment of Ho165 with the atomic beam magnetic resonance method

With an atomic beam magnetic resonance apparatus four rf transitions between different Zeeman levels of the⁴ I _15/2 ground state of Ho¹⁶⁵ have been measured in an external magnetic field of about 3000 Gauss. The interaction between the nuclear magnetic dipole moment and the external field could be deduced from these measurements. Because the magnetic field was measured by calibration transitions in K³⁹, Rb⁸⁵ and Rb⁸⁷, the following value could be determined for the nuclear magnetic dipole moment: μ _I (Ho¹⁶⁵)=4.094(44) μ _n (uncorrected for diamagnetic shielding). Thegj-factor of the ground state of Ho¹⁶⁵ was measured to begj(⁴ I _15/2, Ho¹⁶⁵)=1.1951445(40).     

Hyperfine magnetic anomaly in the atomic spectra of rare-earth elements

Hyperfine-splitting constants in the optical spectra of rare-earth elements, Nd, Eu, Gd, and Lu, were measured using the laser-induced resonance fluorescence in a low-divergence atomic beam. Values of the hyperfine magnetic anomaly for different atomic levels were determined by comparing the ratios of the magnetic dipole constants of neighboring isotopes with odd numbers of protons or neutrons. The relation of these values to the special features of the atomic and nuclear structure of the investigated elements is discussed.     

Precision measurement of the hyperfine structure of Lu175 with the atomic beam magnetic resonance method

The hyperfine structure separations of both doublet states² D _3/2 and² D _5/2 of the ground state configuration 6s ² 5d of Lu¹⁷⁵ have been remeasured with high precision using the atomic beam magnetic resonance method. Magnetic dipole transitions between Zeeman components of the hfs levels were induced applying Ramsey's technique of separated oscillatory fields whenever the field dependence of the resonances was small enough. The hfs intervals at zero field and hfs interaction constants were derived from the measurements. The constants were then corrected for hfs perturbations between the two levels of the doublet. Configuration interaction has been taken into account for the calculation of the dipole matrix elements. The corrected hfs constants are:J=3/2:A=194.332921 (300) MHzB=1511.396 267 (320) MHzC=?70 (19) HzJ=5/2:A=146.776 472 (138) MHzB=1860.656132 (840) MHzC=913 (162) HzD=?16 (24) Hz A quadrupole hfs anomaly between Lu¹⁷⁵ and Lu^176m was not found when comparing the following two ratios: Lu¹⁷⁵:B(5/2)/B(3/2)=1.2310850 (16) Lu^176m :B(5/2)/B(3/2)=1.2310818 (30). So far we have not succeeded in computing an octopole moment from the twoC-factors for the terms² D _3/2,5/2 because the influence of higher configurations could not sufficiently be considered.

Theg _J factors of the metastable states³ P ₂ of⁸⁸Sr and³ D ₁,³ D ₂,³ D ₃, and¹ D ₂ of¹³⁸Ba have been measured using the atomic-beam magnetic resonance method. The metastable states were populated by an electric discharge within the atomic-beam source. From the measurements of rf transitions between the Zeeman levels (m _J =+1)?(m _J =?1) we obtained:⁸⁸Sr:g _J (³ P ₂) =1.501124(10)¹³⁸Ba:g _J (³ D ₃)=1.3340823 (10)g _J (³ D′₂)=1.1637406(11)g _J (³ D ₁)=0.4985751(13)g _J (¹ D′₂)=1.003 1449(10). The relativistic and diamagnetic corrections for theg _J factor of the³ P ₂ state of Sr have been calculated. With these and the Schwinger correction included we getg _J (³ P ₂)=1.501119(12).

Half lives of the 482.2 keV and 615.3 keV levels in181Ta

The half lives of the excited levels at 482.2 keV and 615.3 keV in¹⁸¹Ta have been measured by the delayed coincidence technique. In the nanosecond time range (482.2 keV level) the most serious sources of errors are jitter, walk and drift phenomena. To minimize those the time pick-off has been defined carefully by means of modern fast timing detectors and electronics. In the microsecond time range (615.3 keV level) the ratio of true delayed coincidences to chance coincidences influences considerably the final accuracy of the half-life measurements. It has been reduced as much as possible. From a series of independent measurements half lives ofT _1/2=(10.67±0.05) ns andT _1/2=(17.64±0.14) μs have been deduced for the 482.2 keV and 615.3 keV levels, respectively. The results have been compared with other values published before.
