Nuclear magnetic moments of the ground states of sup 124 I, sup 126 I, and sup 130 I

The nuclear magnetic moments of {sup 124}I, {sup 126}I, and {sup 130}I have been measured by the techniques of low-temperature nuclear orientation and nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei. The magnetic hyperfine splitting frequency {vert bar}{ital g}{mu}{sub {ital N}BHF}/{ital h}{vert bar} for {sup 124}I{ital Fe} was determined to be 630.2(2) MHz from a field-shift analysis of the measured resonances at the external field of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 T. The resonances for {sup 126}I{ital Fe} and {sup 130}I{ital Fe} were observed in an external magnetic field of 0.2 T at {nu}({sup 126}I{ital Fe})=627.7(2) MHz and {nu}({sup 130}I{ital Fe})=585.7(2) MHz, respectively. Using the recalculated hyperfine field of {ital B}{sub HF}({sup 131}I{ital Fe})=114.50(5) T, the magnetic moments were deduced: {vert bar}{mu}({sup 124}I,2{sup {minus}}){vert bar}=1.444(4){mu}{sub {ital N}}, {vert bar}{mu}({sup 126}I,2{sup {minus}}){vert bar}=1.436(5){mu}{sub {ital N}}, and {vert bar}{mu}({sup 130}I,5{sup +}){vert bar}=3.349(7){mu}{sub {ital N}}. The present value of the magnetic moment of {sup 124}I is very different from the value of 1.14(8){mu}{sub {ital N}} reported previously. The measured values of the magnetic moments are discussed using Lande formula.
