Calibration of the transient field for Pt ions in gadolinium and magnetic moments of the21+states inPt

Abstract

The precession of the angular distribution of gamma rays deexciting the 2+~states of ' ' Pt and Nd nuclei have been measured by the transient field method. Average values of the transient field acting at Pt and Nd ions recoiling through gadolinium have been obtained from these data, and are shown to validate the Rutgers parametrization in the recoil velocity range 1.9( (v/vo)(4. 6.The g(2i+) factors of ' Pt relative to 9( Pt) = 0.302(16) have also been deduced: 9( Pt) = 0.302 (24) and g( Pt) = 0.350(30), in good agreement with other transient field measurements.
