Electric moments and charge deformation parameters in /sup 152/ /sup 154/Sm, /sup 156/Gd, and /sup 166/Er

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Coulomb excitation experiments with ..cap alpha.. particles were performed on the four rare-earth nuclei /sup 152/ /sup 154/Sm, /sup 156/Gd, and /sup 166/Er. E2 and E4 transition matrix elements of low-lying levels in the rotational ground-state bands were obtained. Model dependent charge deformation parameters ..beta../sup c//sub 2/ and ..beta../sup c//sub 4/ were extracted by assuming a deformed Fermi distribution with diffuse surface. The possible difference between charge and nuclear hexadecapole deformation observed in /sup 154/Sm does not show up in the isotone /sup 156/Gd.
