Low-Energy Magnetic Dipole Radiation in Open-Shell Nuclei
2017
: Low-energy M1 strength functions of ^{60,64,68}Fe are determined on the basis of large-scale shell-model calculations with the goal to study their development from the bottom to the middle of the neutron shell. We find that the zero-energy spike, which characterizes nuclei near closed shells, develops toward the middle of the shell into a bimodal structure composed of a weaker zero-energy spike and a scissorslike resonance around 3 MeV, where the summed strengths of the two structures change within only 8% around a value of 9.8 μ_{N}^{2}. The summed strength of the scissors region exceeds the total γ absorption strength from the ground state by a factor of about three, which explains the discrepancy between total strengths of the scissors resonance derived from (γ, γ^{'}) experiments and from experiments using light-ion induced reactions.
