Nuclear orientation ofAgm106

Abstract
Nuclei of Agm106 embedded in an iron matrix have been oriented at low temperatures. The decay to Pd106 allowed determination of the spin values for the levels at 2366 keV (J=4), 2351 keV (J=4), 2283 keV (J=4), 2077 keV (J=4), and 1932 keV (J=4). The E2 fractions Q=δ2(1+δ2) could be deduced for 12 mixed M1E2 transitions (energies in keV): Q(222)=0.017±0.005, δ<0; Q(391)=0.9960.006+0.004, δ<0; Q(406)=0.91±0.01, δ<0; Q(430)=0.982±0.003, δ<0; Q(474)=0.01±0.01 or Q(474)=0.94±0.02, δ<0; Q(601)=0.03±0.03 or Q(601)=0.900.06+0.03, δ<0; Q(616)=0.990±0.005, δ<0; Q(703)=0.54±0.14, δ<0 or Q(703)=1.000.04, δ>0 or δ<0; Q(793)=0.00+0.01, δ>0 or Q(793)=0.9800.020+0.005, δ<0; Q(825)=0.002±0.002 or Q(825)=0.97±0.01, δ<0; Q(1046)=0.005±0.003, δ<0; Q(1528)=0.07±0.01 or Q(1528)=0.84±0.02, δ<0. In addition, the magnetic moment of 6+ isomeric state of Ag106 was determined to be |μ|=(2.8±0.2)μN.
