Title: Spin dependence of K mixing, strong configuration mixing, and electromagnetic properties of {sup 178}Hf

Abstract

The combined data of two Coulomb excitation experiments has verified the purely electromagnetic population of the K{sup {pi}}=4{sup +},6{sup +},8{sup -}, and 16{sup +} rotational bands in {sup 178}Hf via 2{<=}{nu}{<=}14 K-forbidden transitions, quantifying the breakdown of the K-selection rule with increasing spin in the low-K bands. The {gamma}-, 4{sup +}, and 6{sup +} bands were extended, and four new states in a rotational band were tentatively assigned to a previously known K{sup {pi}}=0{sup +} band. The quasiparticle structure of the 6{sup +} (t{sub (1/2)}=77 ns) and 8{sup -} (t{sub (1/2)}=4 s) isomer bands were evaluated, showing that the gyromagnetic ratios of the 6{sup +} isomer band are consistent with a pure {pi}(7/2){sup +}[404],{pi}(5/2){sup +}[402] structure. The 8{sup -} isomer band at 1147 keV and the second 8{sup -} band at 1479 keV, thought to be predominantly {nu}(7/2){sup -}[514],{nu}(9/2){sup +}[624] and {pi}(9/2){sup -}[514],{pi}(7/2){sup +}[404], respectively, are mixed to a degree approaching the strong-mixing limit. Based on measured <K{sup {pi}}=16{sup +} parallel E 2 parallel K{sup {pi}}=0{sup +}> matrix elements, it was shown that heavy-ion bombardment could depopulate the 16{sup +} isomer at the {approx}1% level, although no states were found that would mediate photodeexcitation of the isomer via low-energy x-raymore » absorption.« less

The {gamma}{sup -}, 4{sup +}, and 6{sup +} bands were extended, and four new states in a rotational band were tentatively assigned to a previously known K{pi} = 0{sup +} band. The quasiparticle structure of the 6{sup +} (t 1/2 = 77 ns) and 8{sup -}more » (t 1/2 = 4s) isomer bands were evaluated, showing that the gyromagnetic ratios of the 6{sup +} isomer band are consistent with a pure {pi} 7/2{sup +}[404],{pi} 5/2{sup +}[402] structure.

    The decays of the high-spin isomers of $sup 178$Ta (2.45 h) and $sup 178$Lu (23.8 min) to the two strongly admixed K/sup $pi$/ = 8$sup -$ states in $sup 178$Hf were reinvestigated. The main features of the previously reported decay schemes are confirmed and several long-standing ambiguities are resolved. The results of this investigation indicate that the 1147-keV level is largely the two-neutron state and the 1479-keV level is largely the two-proton state in $sup 178$Hf. They are found to be 34% admixed with one another. This mixing value is in good agreement with the value deduced from the M1/E2more » cascade ratios of the 1147-keV band and from the comparison of the E1 ($nu$ = 7) hindrance factors of these two states in this mass region. The band-mixing matrix element for these two states was found to be in agreement with the recent theory which introduces the residual neutron-proton interaction to account for the mixing. The spin- parity of $sup 178$Lu/sup m/ (23.8 min) was deduced to be K/sup $pi$/ = 9$sup -$ with a possible Nilsson configuration of 9/2$sup -$ [514] /subp/, 9/2$sup +$ [624] /subn/. (AIP)« less
