High-spin isomers: structure and applications
نویسنده
چکیده
High-spin-isomer research is briefly reviewed, with attention to the highest spins, the heaviest elements, proton-rich nuclei and neutron-rich nuclei. The utility of isomers is emphasised in connection with the study of exotic nuclei, where isomeric states may be longer lived than ground states. It is pointed out that isomers may also provide opportunities for studying effects at the atomic-nuclear interface.

Enrichment of nuclear spin isomers by molecular coherent control
Nuclear spin isomers were discovered in the late 1920s when ortho and para H2 were separated by deep cooling of hydrogen gas. This technique was successful because of extremely large gap between the ortho and para states in H2. Investigations of heavier isomers were not possible to perform until recently because of the lack of appropriate enrichment methods. First separation of heavy molecules ...
متن کاملSeparating para and ortho water.
Water exists as two nuclear-spin isomers, para and ortho, determined by the overall spin of its two hydrogen nuclei. For isolated water molecules, the conversion between these isomers is forbidden and they act as different molecular species. Yet, these species are not readily separated, and no pure para sample has been produced. Accordingly, little is known about their specific physical and che...
متن کاملReview of metastable states in heavy nuclei.
The structure of nuclear isomeric states is reviewed in the context of their role in contemporary nuclear physics research. Emphasis is given to high-spin isomers in heavy nuclei, with [Formula: see text]. The possibility to exploit isomers to study some of the most exotic nuclei is a recurring theme. In spherical nuclei, the role of octupole collectivity is discussed in detail, while in deform...
متن کاملSol – Gel Spin Coated Cadmium Sulphide Thin Films on Silicon (1 0 0) Substrates for Optoelectronic Applications
Cadmium chalcogenides with appropriate band gap energy have been attracting a great deal of attention because of their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. In this work CdS thin films were deposited on p – type silicon substrates by sol – gel spin coating method at different substrate temperatures. The CdS deposited wafers were characterized by X‐ray diffracti...
متن کاملE 2 Effective Charges of g 9 / 2 Nucleons Derived from Quadrupole Moments of High - Spin Isomers in
Static quadrupole moments (0) of 8+ isomers in 88 90Zr and the 2' + isomer in 9'Zr, as well as 0 ratios of 8+ isomers in Mo, have been measured with the time-differential perturbedangular-distribution technique. The isomers were excited by pulsed heavy-ion beams and recoil implanted into single crystals of Zr in which their quadrupole precession was observed. Our results, the first such data fo...
