Nuclear orientation of¹⁰⁵Rh and⁹⁵Tc in iron

Abstract

The temperature-dependent anisotropy of γ-rays following the decay of oriented⁹⁵Tc and¹⁰⁵Rh nuclei was studied with a Ge(Li) detector. Mixing coefficients of some γ-and preceding β-transitions, the spins of two intermediate levels, and the magnetic hyperfine splitting of the⁹⁵Tc and¹⁰⁵Rh ground states in an Fe host were measured. From the known hyperfine fields the following magnetic moments were deduced:

$$\begin{gathered} \mu \left( {^{105} Rh,\tfrac{{7 + }}{2}} \right) = 4.34\left( {12} \right) n.m.; \hfill \\ \mu \left( {^{95} Tc,\tfrac{{9 + }}{2}} \right) = 5.82\left( {12} \right)n.m. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$
