Abstract:

g factors of the 21+ and 41+ states in 92,94Zr have been measured via Coulomb excitation of isotopically pure 92,94Zr beams in inverse kinematics in combination with the transient field technique. The high precision results, g(92Zr; 21+ = -0.180(10) and g(94Zr; 21+ = -0.329(15) as well as the new data on the 41 state, g(92Zr; 41+) = -0.50(11), provide, for the first time, clear evidence of the dominant role of d5/2 neutrons in the wave functions of these nuclei just above the N = 50 shell closure. Moreover, the data imply increased purity of the d5/2 neutron component in the wave function with increasing spin. © 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
