It is found that the nuclear moment of inertia of 150Sm is substantially lower than that of 152Sm for the low spin states, but that it increases with spin and the moments of inertia converge for the high spin states. This supports earlier evidence that the change from spherical to deformed nuclei between N=88 and N=90 is gradual.","PeriodicalId":54612,"journal":{"name":"Physics-A Journal of General and Applied Physics","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1972-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91324711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
