Transient-field strength measurements for52Cr traversing Fe hosts at high velocity and polarization transfer mechanisms

Abstract

Transient-field strengths were measured for52Cr ions traversing polarized Fe hosts at velocities up to 12υ0 (12υ0 =c/137 = Bohr velocity). The results are compared with predictions of various transient-field parametrizations and discussed in terms of possible mechanisms by which polarization might be transferred from the Fe host to inner vacancies of the moving Cr ions. The g-factor of the first 2+ state of52Cr was also measured by the transient-field technique and found to be in accord with shell model calculations. Show more
