Magnetic moments of the(3/2)1and(5/2)1states in107,109Ag

Abstract
The ratios of g factors of the first excited states of the 107,109Ag isotopes, g((3/2))/g((5/2))=1.5(3) and 2.3(5), respectively, have been measured by the perturbed angular correlation transient field technique. The absolute magnitudes of the g factors have been obtained through a calibration procedure that makes use of the magnetic dipole moments of the first 2+ states of Pd106 and Cd110 and are Ag107: g((3/2)1)=0.61(12), g((5/2)1)=0.41(7) and Ag109: g((3/2)1)=0.66(10), g((5/2)1)=0.29(6). These results are compared with weak coupling calculations as well as with Nilsson models with symmetric or triaxial cores. The latter reveal a sensitive dependence of the g factors on the deformation parameter γ. .AE
