Abstract

Properties of the odd-mass Eu isotopes are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion approximation (IBFA) model. It is shown that in the IBFA model a rather detailed and yet simple description can be given of odd-mass nuclei ranging from spherical ¹⁴⁷Eu to deformed ¹⁵⁵Eu. Calculated excitation energies, proton separation energies, E2 and M1 transition probabilities, quadrupole and magnetic moments and spectroscopic factors for single-proton transfer are compared with experiment. The model parameters determined are compared with the predictions of a simple microscopic theory.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=149 Isobars
2022, Nuclear Data Sheets
Experimental nuclear structure and decay data are evaluated for all the 17 known nuclides of mass 149 (Xe, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb). Detailed compiled and evaluated spectroscopic information is presented for each reaction and decay dataset, and recommended values are provided for level properties, α, β and γ radiations, and other spectroscopic parameters, based on an evaluation of all the available experimental data for A=149 isobaric nuclides. Although large amounts of nuclear spectroscopic data are available for nuclides of A=149, yet large gaps in knowledge exist, as described below. For the lowest atomic number nuclide ¹⁴⁹Xe, only the isotopic identification has been made, with no data for its ground-state half-life. For ¹⁴⁹Cs, ¹⁴⁹Tm and ¹⁴⁹Yb information is available for only the respective ground states. For ¹⁴⁹Ba, ¹⁴⁹La and ¹⁴⁹Er, limited data exist for excited states. Many of the decay schemes of radioactive nuclei of A=149 are considered as incomplete, either due to large energy differences between the highest observed excited states in daughter nuclides and the respective Q-values, or due to the lack of confirmed γ-ray data, as listed below: ¹⁴⁹Cs → ¹⁴⁹Ba, ¹⁴⁹Ba → ¹⁴⁹La, ¹⁴⁹La → ¹⁴⁹Ce, ¹⁴⁹Ce → ¹⁴⁹Pr, ¹⁴⁹Pr → ¹⁴⁹Nd, ¹⁴⁹Tb(4.17 min) → ¹⁴⁹Gd, ¹⁴⁹Ho(21.0 s and 56 s) → ¹⁴⁹Dy, ¹⁴⁹Er(4 s and 9.6 s) → ¹⁴⁹Ho, and ¹⁴⁹Tm → ¹⁴⁹Er. No data exist for the decay of ¹⁴⁹Yb to ¹⁴⁹Tm. Data for half-lives of the excited states in this mass chain are generally lacking as given below by the number of excited levels of known half-life / approximate number of known levels in a nuclide: 2/17 for ¹⁴⁹Ba, 0/18 for ¹⁴⁹La, 3/53 for ¹⁴⁹Ce, 3/44 for ¹⁴⁹Pr, 17/110 for ¹⁴⁹Nd, 9/90 for ¹⁴⁹Pm, 10/210 for ¹⁴⁹Sm, 2/125 for ¹⁴⁹Eu, 6/270 for ¹⁴⁹Gd, 5/200 for ¹⁴⁹Tb, 3/80 for ¹⁴⁹Dy, 3/90 for ¹⁴⁹Ho, and 3/14 for ¹⁴⁹Er. This work supersedes earlier evaluations of A=149 nuclides published by 2004Si16, 1994Si18, 1985Sz01 and 1976Ho17.
High-spin level structure and Ground-state phase transition in the odd-mass <sup>103−109</sup>Rh isotopes in the framework of exactly solvable sdg interacting boson–fermion model
2018, Nuclear Physics A
In this article, the negative-parity states in the odd-mass ${}^{103 - 109}{Rh}$ isotopes in terms of the sd and sdg interacting-boson fermion models were studied. The transitional interacting boson–fermion model Hamiltonians in sd and sdg-IBFM versions based on affine $S U (1, 1)$ Lie Algebra were employed to describe the evolution from the spherical to deformed gamma unstable shapes along with the chain of Rh isotopes. In this method, sdg-IBFM Hamiltonian, which is a three level pairing Hamiltonian was determined easily via the exactly solvable method. Some observables of the shape phase transitions such as energy levels, the two neutron separation energies, signature splitting of the γ-vibrational band, the α-decay and double $β^{-}$ -decay energies were calculated and examined for these isotopes. The present calculation correctly reproduces the spherical to gamma-soft phase transition in the Rh isotopes. Some comparisons were made with sd-IBFM.
A description of odd mass W-isotopes in the Interacting Boson-Fermion model
2012, Nuclear Physics A
The negative and positive parity low-spin states of the even–odd Tungsten isotopes, ${}^{183, 185, 187}W$ are studied in the frame work of the Interacting Boson–Fermion Approximation (IBFA) model. The fermion that is coupled to the system of bosons is taken to be in the negative parity $2 f_{7 / 2}$ , $2 f_{5 / 2}$ , $3 p_{3 / 2}$ , $3 p_{1 / 2}$ and in the positive parity $1 i_{13 / 2}$ single-particle orbits. The calculated energies of low-spin energy levels of the odd isotopes are found to agree well with the experimental data. Also B(E2) values and spectroscopic factors for single-neutron transfer are calculated and found to be in good agreement with experimental data.
Effect of a fermion on quantum phase transitions in bosonic systems
2011, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The effect of a fermion with angular momentum j on quantum phase transitions of a $(s, d)$ bosonic system is investigated. It is shown that the presence of a fermion strongly modifies the critical value at which the transition occurs, and its nature, even for small and moderate values of the coupling constant. The analogy with a bosonic system in an external field is mentioned. Experimental evidence for precursors of quantum phase transitions in bosonic systems plus a fermion (odd–even nuclei) is presented.

The problem is also of interest to the condensed matter physics community where one is interested in the motion of fermionic impurities in a bath of bosons [28].) Studies of QPTs in odd–even nuclei were implicitly initiated years ago by Scholten and Blasi [29]. Several explicit studies have recently been made by Alonso et al. [30–32] and by Böyükata et al. [33], who also have suggested a simple form of the IBFM Hamiltonian particularly well suited to study QPTs in odd–even nuclei because of its supersymmetric properties.
Quantum phase transitions in a system of N bosons with angular momentum L = 0, 2 (s, d) and a single fermion with angular momentum j are investigated both classically and quantum mechanically. It is shown that the presence of the odd fermion strongly influences the location and nature of the phase transition, especially the critical value of the control parameter at which the phase transition occurs. Experimental evidence for the U(5)–SU(3) (spherical to axially-deformed) transition in odd–even nuclei is presented.
