The large magnetic fields that act on fast-moving ions traversing thin magnetized Fe foils were utilized to remeasure the magnetic moments of the first excited 2+ states of "Fe and ' Fe. The technique reported here does not require an accurate knowledge of the nuclear lifetime and does not depend on the static magnetic field of Fe in Fe. Assuming g(~~Fe, 2+) = 0.61 + 0.08, we obtain g = 1.68~0.38 and g = 0.46+ 0.10 for the first 2+ states of "Fe and Fe, respectively. The present results agree well with previous measurements and support the existing models for the structure of these states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
