Measurements of g-Factor of Rotational Levels in ⁸³Y

The g-factors of the positive parity rotational levels up to spin I ≤ 41/2 + in 83Y have been measured by a transient-magnetic- field ion implantation perturbed angular distribution method. The experimentally measured g-factors show the g9/2 proton alignment followed by the g 9/2 neutron alignment. The measured g-factors are in good agreement with the results calculated by an empirical formula based on the cranking shell model. ©2005 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.
