On 1f7/2Nuclei. Gamma Ray Spectroscopic Studies on States in53Mn and53Fe Using the50Cr + α Reaction

“…As shown in Fig. 13, in which the corresponding data on T a [2] and j3Mn are presented along with those on jlV [45], the excitation energies of the states J G 15/2-differ, demonstrating that the assumption of pure 1f;d configurations of these states is apparently too extreme.…”

“…As pointed out by McCullen et al [l], the cross conjugate nuclei 43Ca-53Mn and 43S~-53Fe with the valence nucleons in the lf7,* shell interacting via two-body forces should have identical wavefunctions, respectively. New data on the high spin states of ' T a [2] and of 9 c [3-71 have been reported recently and it seems therefore appropriate to compare these pairs of nuclei in order to facilitate an examination of the purity of their configurations.…”

A Study of Excited States in44Sc by means of the41K(α,nγ)44Sc Reaction

“…(x,ny) reaction at E, = 14 MeV populates states with spin values up to 7-8 units [14]. In the present case, however, the target nucleus has a non-zero spin and the states which are populated with some intensity have a position at 1 MeV or lower.…”

“…Rotational like bands based on a d, hole excitation have recently been found both in ;;SC.., ~~S c , , [13] and in . :Cari [14]. Manthuruthiel and Prosser [ I 11 have identified five possible negative-parity states in 44Sc.…”
