In the present work, we report a comprehensive theoretical study of the log f t values for the allowed and forbidden β − decay transitions of 46 K and 47 K corresponding to recently available experimental data from the GRIFFIN spectrometer at TRIUMF-ISAC [Phys. Rev. C 100, 054327 (2019); Phys. Rev. C 102, 054314 (2020)]. We perform the nuclear shell-model calculation in sdpf -valence space, with the SDPF-MU interaction, to calculate low-lying energy spectra of 46,47 K and 46,47 Ca. For further investigation, we also calculate spectroscopic properties of 46,47 K, 46,47 Ca and compare the results with the experimental data. We suggest spin-parity of several levels, which were previously tentative, in both the calcium isotopes. Based on the energy and log f t values, we conclude that the state at 3.984 in 46 Ca could be either 3 − or 2 + and a state at 4.432 MeV might be 3 − . The spin-parity of the states at 2.875, 3.951 and 4.453 MeV are predicted to be 1/2 − , 3/2 − and 1/2 − or 1/2 + , respectively, in 47 Ca. We also give the confirmation to spin-parity of 2.850, 3.889 and 4.606 MeV states for 47 Ca. Our results of level schemes and log f t values for the β − decay of 46,47 K are in a reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
