Rotational g factors of osmium isotopes at low spins

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

In view of recent experimental data on g factors of osmium isotopes which show interesting variations as a function of mass number as well as spin, we have calculated these following the methods of variation after exact angular momentum projection of axial Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov wave functions and the cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. The observed trend of the variation of g factor at I = 2 with the mass number A = 186--192 is reproduced with very minor adjustments of the force constants of the employed pairing-plus-quadrupole model Hamiltonian in both the approaches. However, the variation of g factor with spin, which is sensitive to the interplay between collective and single particle degrees of freedom, can be understood only in the cranking approach. Though these nuclei are prolate in shape, with the increase of A they become more and more ..gamma.. soft and we suggest that ..gamma.. deformation should be treated in a generator coordinate type of calculation.
