Abstract

The decay of 51.4-min Hf177m2 has been studied in detail by means of Ge(Li) detectors and a Si(Li) detector. The L-subshell conversion-electron ratios for the 214.0-keV isomeric transition were measured with a double-focusing β-ray spectrometer. An E3 multipolarity was deduced for the isomeric transition, and thus a spin-parity of Iπ=372 was established for the isomeric state. Coincidence measurements identify the Kπ=232+ rotational band up to the I=312 member. The rotational-model quantity (gKgR)2Q02, derived from the γ-ray intensities of the cascade and crossover transitions, was used to deduce the gyromagnetic ratios for this band.
