Abstract: | Laser spectroscopy measurements have been performed on neutron-deficient and stable Ir isotopes using the COMPLIS experimental
setup installed at ISOLDE-CERN. The radioactive Ir atoms were obtained from successive decays of a mass-separated Hg beam
deposited onto a carbon substrate after deceleration to 1kV and subsequently laser desorbed. A three-color, two-step resonant
scheme was used to selectively ionize the desorbed Ir atoms. The hyperfine structure (HFS) and isotope shift (IS) of the first
transition of the ionization path 5d

11/2 at 351.5nm were measured for 182-189Ir, 186Ir
m
and the stable 191, 193Ir. The nuclear magnetic moments μI and the spectroscopic quadrupole moments Qs were obtained from the HFS spectra and the change of the mean square charge radii from the IS measurements. The sign of μI was experimentally determined for the first time for the masses 182≤A≤189 and the isomeric state 186Ir
m
. The spectroscopic quadrupole moments of 182Ir and 183Ir were measured also for the first time. A large mean square charge radius change between 187Ir and 186Ir

and 186Ir

was observed corresponding to a sudden increase in deformation: from β2 ≃ + 0.16 for the heavier group A = 193, 191, 189, 187 and 186m to β2≥ + 0.2 for the lighter group A = 186g, 185, 184, 183 and 182. These results were analyzed in the framework of a microscopic treatment of an axial rotor plus one
or two quasiparticle(s). This sudden deformation change is associated with a change in the proton state that describes the
odd-nuclei ground state or that participates in the coupling with the neutron in the odd-odd nuclei. This state is identified
with the π3/2+402] orbital for the heavier group and with the π1/2-541] orbital stemming from the 1h
9/2 spherical subshell for the lighter group. That last state seems to affect strongly the observed values of the nuclear moments. |
