Abstract: | Time-differential perturbed-angular-distribution (TDPAD) experiments have been performed on polarized intermediate- and high-spin isomers . Excited Gd nuclei populated by reactions were polarized by the tilted-multifoil technique and implanted in a Gd single-crystal host. Observation of the subsequent electric quadrupole interaction with the known electric field gradient yielded negative values of the sign of the deformation for all isomers studied. The magnitude of the induced nuclear polarization PI was also determined from the TDPAD data and compared to model calculations in order to deduce the average atomic angular momentum and polarization of Gd ions at v/c ~ 0.018. |
