\u3cem\u3eg\u3c/em\u3e Factor of the 2\u3csup\u3e+\u3c/sup\u3e\u3csub\u3e1\u3c/sub\u3e State of \u3csup\u3e170\u3c/sup\u3eHf

The g factor of the 2+1 state of 170Hf was measured by perturbed γ-γ angular correlation in a static external magnetic field. The result, g(2+1) = 0.28(5), extends the systematics of g factors of even-even Hf isotopes to N = 98 and enables a better test of theoretical models. The g(2+1) experimental values of these isotopes exhibit a remarkable constancy as a function of neutron number. This phenomenon, which was also observed for other isotopic chains in the Gd–W range, is explained in terms of a recently proposed empirical model

g factor of the 2_1^+ state of Hf170

The g factor of the 2(1)(+) state of (170)Hf was measured by perturbed gamma-gamma angular correlation in a static external magnetic field. The result, g(2(1)(+))=0.28(5), extends the systematics of g factors of even-even Hf isotopes to N = 98 and enables a better test of theoretical models. The g(2(1)(+)) experimental values of these isotopes exhibit a remarkable constancy as a function of neutron number. This phenomenon, which was also observed for other isotopic chains in the Gd-W range, is explained in terms of a recently proposed empirical model
