Abstract
Angular distributions of 37 rays were observed following the decays of 161-day and 6.8-day polarized at low temperatures in the ferromagnetic cubic Laves-phase compound . The magnetic moment of the was deduced to be , in excellent agreement with the value computed assuming the to be the three-quasiparticle state . The magnetic hyperfine fields of Lu, Ta, Sc, and Co in were deduced from the corresponding -ray anisotropies. Decays proceeding through the 1.1-sec were observed to show characteristic relaxation times of sec. The mixing ratios of numerous intraband transitions in and were deduced, and the corresponding values were computed. Several interband mixing ratios were deduced and were compared with calculations based on the Nilsson model including first-order Coriolis mixing. The 0-180° asymmetries of several transitions were observed in an effort to see if parity mixing effects might be present due to the particularly close-lying opposite parity states of ; no effects were seen to the limit of 2 × .
