Magnetic moment of the 3+, one millisecond isomer in self-conjugate46V

Theg-factor of the one millisecond isomer (first excited state at 801 keV) in self-conjugate46V was measured by the perturbed angular distribution method. The isomeric state was populated by the heavy ion reaction32S(16O,pn)46V and recoil implanted into a liquid metal. The result,g=+0.546(10) extends the known isoscalar moments to heavier nuclei and is in close agreement with all previously measured isoscalar moments in thef7/2 shell. Theγ-ray angular distribution confirms the spin 3 assignment of the isomeric state.
