Abstract: The gyromagnetic ratio, .q, for the first excited 2 + states of 25 even-even isotopes of Ge, Se, Mo, Cd, Pd, Ru and Te were obtained using the ion implantation perturbed angular correlation technique. The .q factors were extracted from the measured precession angles using known lifetimes, equilibrium hyperfine magnetic field values and transient hyperfine magnetic field data for fast ions in ferromagnetic lattices. The results indicate that the ,q factors vary little for the states studied, and are close to the collective value Z/A. E

high energy (E ,,~ 500 keV). Consequently, magnetic perturbations, even in internal fields of 500 kOe, are small with typical precession angles on the order of 15 mrad. The high gamma energies yield an almost zero recoiless fraction making M6ssbauer measurements impossible. What few data are available come from radioactive nuclei metallurgically doped into polarized Fe. Here the gamma-gamma correlation of the daughter nucleus is precessed by the large hyperfine magnetic field acting on dilute impurities in Fe. Measuring the precession allows the determination of the magnetic moments of the intermediate level in the gamma-gamma cascade 4). If Coulomb excitation is used to produce the states of interest and the decay gamma rays are detected in coincidence with backscattered ions, then a number of improvements in the sensitivity of the perturbed angular correlation technique can be realized. The angular distribution becomes very anisotropic while the recoil nucleus can be driven into a ferromagnetic backing by its recoil energy. In addition, there is no dependence on radioactive cascades to populate the states, so systematic investigations become easier. Although experimental evidence indicates that the recoil ions experience substantial perturbations while slowing down 5), it now seems that the origin of these perturbations is understood as the interaction of fast recoiling ions with polarized electrons in the ferromagnetic backing. The perturbations can be simulated by a large field ( ~ 10 MOe) acting on the nucleus during its slowing down time ( ~ lpsec). This field seems to vary slowly with Z and be the same for all isotopes of a given element. These empirical facts about the perturbation can be included in the data analysis to obtain the dipole moments of the excited states. This paper presents such measurements for 25 doubly even nuclei. The g-factors determined are compared with various theories but are best described by a simple hydrodynamical model of the nucleus 6).

2. Experimental The ion implantation perturbed angular correlation technique, IMPAC, has been described in detail in previous publications 7-1o). As is indicated in fig. 1, a high-energy ( 3 3 - 3 8 MeV) oxygen beam is used to Coulomb excite the target nuclei and concurrently implant them, by recoil into a suitable host lattice. Using NaI(T1) crystals, the decay 7-rays are counted in coincidence with oxygen ions backscattered into an annular detector. The coincidence requirement insures that only transitions from the m = 0 substate are observed, giving rise to the highly anisotropic E2(m = 0 ~ m = 0) radiation pattern. The forward momentum transferred to the excited nuclei by the backscattered particles is sufficient for implantation into the ferromagnetic backing. All targets used in these experiments were separated isotopes electroplated or evaporated onto 25 pm thick iron foils. Target thicknesses varied from 200/~g/cm 2 to 400/~g/cm 2. The recoil ranges and slowing down times calculated from the theory

of Lindhard, Scharff and Schiott 11) indicate an average implantation depth greater than 500 pg/cm z, and a stopping time of about 1 psec. An external magnetic field of about 1 kOe perpendicular to the detection plane was used to magnetically saturate the iron foil and hence align the hyperfine fields acting on the impurity nuclei. This effective magnetic field (Herr) interacts with the magnetic moment of the excited state and causes it to precess with the Larmor frequency co(t) = -gpNH(t)/h. The angular distribution of the decay gamma rays at a time t after the excitation is given by: W(O, t) = W[O-.~co(t')dt']. For an integral

Each angle is treated independently, with theoretical A2 and A4 values used to determine AO. Four counters are placed symmetrically (usually __+22½° and ___112k °) so that two sets of equal and opposite effects are measured simultaneously, cancelling out asymmetries. Precession angles must be corrected for beam bending by the fringing field of the polarizing magnet which shows up as an apparent precession of the correlation. Such effects were measured using copper backed targets and also calculated from the measured fringing field. The correlations ranged from 2.0 to 2.5 mrad, depending on whether the incoming oxygen beam was in a 5 + and 6 + charge state. Precession angles corrected for beam bending are shown in table 1. Systematics of the lzresent data indicate that the hyperfine field seen by the implanted ion is considerably larger during slow down than after the ion has come to rest. The field occurring during slow down is referred to as the transient field and has

Both kinds of data have been used in the analysis, The method of data analysis makes no other assumptions about the transient field except that it is of an impulsive nature. The slope of the best fit straight line is o) o = - g # y H / h . By measuring the slope and inserting the static internal field Ho into the equation for coo it is possible to extract a g-factor which is an average of all g-factors of the isotopes under study. If an experimental point for an isotope falls off the fitted line, then either its g-factor may differ from the average g-factor (g,,,) or the lifetime may be in error. The field H o should be the same for all the isotopes of a particular element. It is assumed that A g / g , ~ = A(coz)/(cor)i, where A g is the deviation of g from g,v and A(coz) is the deviation of (coz),~p from (coT)r, the value of the angular shift given by the straight line fit at z equal to the lifetime of the excited state of the isotope in question. The corrected g-factor for each isotope of a specific element is given by: g = g . ~ + A g = g.~

This correction assumes no lifetime error. Typical errors quoted for lifetimes are about 10 % which, along with the error in A(c0z) and g,v are incorporated into the total error of g for each isotope.

4. Results

The extracted g-factors together with radioactivity g-factors, where available, are shown in table 1. Also shown are energies and lifetimes of the first 2 + states taken from the latest information available. In most cases these correspond to tabulations in ref. 13). The g-factor calculations and subsequent error analysis are discussed below for each element studied. T e l l u r i u m . The static field (Ho) for Te in Fe has been determined by the M6ssbauer effect in 125Te [ref. 14)]. The quoted errors in Te g-factors arise mainly from the error in the slope of the best fit straight line through the data points. The balance of the error comes from the uncertainties in z, Ho, and (co~)exp- The several radioactivity experiments in 122Te [refs. 15-18)] and 124Te [refs. ~7,~9,20)] exhibit a wider scatter than would be expected from the quoted errors. Consequently, radioactivity results were not incorporated into the g-factor analysis. In an earlier publication 21) most of these Te data were analysed without including transient field effects, although they were considered. The g-factors quoted here are significantly lower because of the transient effects. The Te g-factors are, on the average, the lowest of those measured for the spherical nuclei. The nucleus Te is also closest to the "transi-

Cadmium. The four Cd isotopes studied, ii°Cd, H2Cd, llgCd and li6Cd have lifetimes which are short enough so that rotations due to the transient field outweigh the rotations due to the static field. The radioactivity point on ll4Cd [ref. 22)] was incorporated into the g-factor analysis. The large errors quoted are primarily due to the large uncertainty in the slope of the best fit straight line. The equilibrium internal field is known from a radioactivity measurement 23). Palladium. Significant g-factors could be extracted from data on 106pd ' ~ospd ' and l lopd" The experimental shift for 104pd is too close to zero to yield a meaningful g-factor since the transient field, which is positive, nearly cancels the effect of the negative static field. The best fit straight line incorporates the radioactivity measurements on l°6Pd [ref. 24]). The internal field for Pd in Fe is known from an N M R measurement 25). Ruthenium. Four Ru isotopes were studied. Only the 98Ru and a°*Ru g-factors could be extracted since (co~)expfor l ° ° R u and a°2Ru are close to zero. The error in the slope, which incorporated radioactivity data 24), is small because of the wide span in lifetimes of the Ru isotopes. The large error in the 98Ru g-factor is due to the fact that (O)~)exp for 98Ru is small. The internal field is known from a radioactivity measurement 26). Molybdenum. Only two Mo isotopes were studied so that the analysis can yield only an average g-factor. The internal field is known from an N M R measurement 25). Selenium. The field H o for Se in Fe is not known so a value was extrapolated from the systematics of known hyperfine fields of chemically similar elements. The value used in this analysis is H o = 650+ 150 [ref. is)] kOe, where the large error is due to the uncertainty in the extrapolation. This value of Ho yields g,v = 0.41_+0.12 where the error includes both the error in the slope and the error in H o. Data for Se in Co were also used. The experimental angular shifts for Se in Co are normalized to the Se in Fe data by subtracting the impulse shift due to Se in Co from the experimental Se in Co points, multiplying the results by the ratio of the Fe slope to the Co slope and then adding the impulse precession due to Se in Fe. This is necessary since the static field of Se in Co is also not known. The transient field in ferromagnetic metals should be proportional to the moment of the host material. The normalized Co points, averaged with the Fe points are displayed in table 1 under (o)z)exp. By combining Fe and Co data, the error in (6o'[)exp was reduced to under 6 % for each isotope. The radioactivity point on 76Se [ref. is)] was used in conjunction with the IMPAC points to determine the best fit line. Germanium. A recent experiment has yielded an internal magnetic field for Ge in Fe of +70_+3 kG [ref. 27)]. However, the measured slope of the best fit straight

line to the I M P A C data is small but positive. This could indicate that the sign o f the field is wrong or that there is a y-factor variation. The latter was assumed and a straight line corresponding to + 7 0 kg was least squares fitted in the following way. Eq. (3) can be rewritten as:

F o r Se H l z l = 3.8_+1.5" M O e ' p s e c . According to the theory o f Lindhard and Winter lz), the transient field varies smoothly with the atomic n u m b e r of the solute so the same H l z l can be assumed for Ge in Fe since the atomic numbers of Ge and Se differ only by 2. As a result H o and HjZl are fixed in eq. (5). The least squares fitting procedure consisted of adjusting g in eq. (5) to give the best fit. The result yielded Ya~ = 0.46_+0.23; the large errors being due to the large uncertainties in Ha~j. As in the case of Se, Ge in Co data were used along with Ge in 1% data. ,5 I~ ~ P A C

The gross features o f fig. 4 indicate that the y-factors are fairly constant with a slight d o w n w a r d trend from Ge to Te. However, nearly all of the g-factors are equal within errors.

residual interactions are assumed. The n-n and p-p pairing strengths are assumed equal while the n-p pairing strength is taken as zero. The long range quadrupole interactions are of equal strength between neutron-neutron pairs, proton-proton pairs, and neutron-proton pairs. This formalism allows low-lying states of spherical nuclei to be treated in terms of quasiparticles or phonons. A key assumption in the theory is the quasiparticle random phase approximation which linearized the equations of motion of quasiparticle pairs by dropping terms in the Hamiltonian whose effect is spread out over many pair states of different angular momenta. The magnetic moments predicted by the random phase approximation have substantial fluctuations near closed shells. Pd and Cd have g ~ 1 because their wave functions involve 9~ protons to a large extent. As can be seen, rapid variations in one phonon 9-factors have not been observed. Similar calculations have been made by Lombard and Campi-Benet 29). Their calculations involve a large number of configurations, e.g. core excitations of the hole-particle type are included. Their pairing constants are obtained from odd-even mass differences while their quadrupole and octupole forces are chosen to fit the Ez ÷ and E 3- energies of certain nuclei. Their predictions are shown by the dashed line. To date we have no #-factor for 92Mo. Such a number would be very interesting for Lombard predicts g = 1.27 while Kisslinger and Sorensen predict a large negative #-factor. Because of the shortness of the lifetime, z = 0.4 psec and the high energy of the first excited state, E2+ = 1.53 MeV, the experiment would be very difficult to do. The solid lines in fig. 4 are the predictions of the hydrodynamical model, # = Z/A. The agreement is good for Ge and Se but Z/A gives values which are consistently too high for the other isotopes. The hydrodynamical model does of course agree with the lack of large #-factor variations. The best agreement is with a model proposed by Greiner 2). Greiner uses the hydrodynamical model together with the fact that the pairing force between protons is stronger than that between neutrons. This enables the neutron distribution to become more deformed than the proton distribution and hence, participate more in collective motion. Greiner's g-factors for vibrational nuclei are:

(6) using Marshalek's pairing strengths are shown in fig. 4 and reproduce the data quite well.
