The angular distributions of γ rays and α particles from oriented 250 Bk, 253,254 Es, and 255 Fm nuclei were investigated to extract hyperfine interaction information for these actinide impurities in an iron host lattice. The hyperfine field of einsteinium in iron was found to be |B hf (EsFe|) = 396(32) T. With this value the magnetic moment of 254 Es was then determined as |µ| = 4.35(41) µ N .
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.
