Abstract
The reaction54Fe(α, n)57Ni has been used to implant57Co isotopes in ferromagnetic iron. Theg-factor of the lowest 3/2− state is determined using the internal field in a constant angle reversed field method. The angular correlation of the 127–1,378 keV cascade is also measured. The result of the angular correlation measurement together with reaction data is consistent withp 3/2 andp 1/2 single particle assignments to the lowest 3/2− resp. 1/2− state. In view of this statement the quenching of the magnetic moment is discussed.
