Quadrupole moments of neutron isomers in Sm isotopes

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The quadrupole moments of the neutron isomers in140,142Sm were determined by measuring the quadrupole interaction of Sm in Gd using single crystals. The moment for the 10+ isomer in140Sm was determined to be ¦Q¦=167(48) fm2 and for the 7 isomer in142Sm ¦Q¦=112(27) fm2. The quadrupole moments are a measure for a deformation which turned out to be very similar to the deformation found for corresponding proton isomers in Gd isotones.
