The angular momentum of the phonon is L, its magnetic projection M and its parity π = (−1)L . The magnetic projection is mostly not of great importance. 4 Collective Structures Within major divisions (even–even, odd-A, and odd–odd), the excited levels are further divided into groups that are single-particle or collective (vibrational or rotational) in nature. However, because of the strong pairing force, even–even nuclei do not show single-particle excited levels but rather one- or two-particle-hole excitations or two-quasiparticle excitations.
It is instructive to calculate the magnetic moment for a single nucleon (which, as explained earlier, is a good approximation for the ground state of oddA nuclei). 30b) The magnetic moments plotted as a function of spin form the so-called Schmidt lines. It is interesting that, when plotted, almost all of these moments lie between the Schmidt lines. The moments that 19 1 Nuclear Structure lie outside these limits occur mainly for some very light nuclei. One may conclude that the single-particle model does possess some validity.
Each of the phonons has energy h¯ ωL . Because most even–even nuclei have as first excited state a 2+ state, the L = 2 quadrupole phonons are dominant. At higher energy, there is evidence for the presence of L = 3 octupole phonon making a 3− state. Using the energy solution of the Hamiltonian equation (Eq. 44) 25 26 1 Nuclear Structure and the proper angular momentum coupling and symmetrization given in Eq. 39), one arrives at a very simple prediction. The one-quadrupole phonon state has L = 2 and Eexc = hω ¯ 2 and the two-phonon states have L = 0, 2, 4 and Eexc = 2h¯ ω2 .
