Application of gamma-gamma Angular Correlation to the Study of Interactions Between Nuclei and the Environment in Which They Are Embedded

摘要

Aseries of experiments using an integral gamma-ray angular correlation apparatus was made. These include angular correlation measurements in 99Tc and 59Co, and g-factor measurements for an excited state in 115In. A conversion-electron-gamma-ray angular correlation apparatus previously constructed was further developed and exploited. It has proved to be a powerful tool for the study of nuclear properties. Studies are in progress for various cascades in the nuclei 207Pb and 160Dy. Studies were also made of internal electric fields in various compounds of Hafnium and in the study of internal magnetic fields acting on nuclei of diamagnetic atoms in solid solutions of ferromagnetic hosts. Construction has commenced on a Mossbauer effect apparatus.
