Magnetic Moments of Even-Odd Nuclei

Abstract

The deviations of nuclear magnetic moments from the Schmidt limits are interpreted in terms of a failure of $L-S$ coupling, and a simple interpolation procedure is applied to compute the statistical weight of the components with $L=I+\frac{1}{2}$ and $L=I-\frac{1}{2}$. The results below odd $N$ or $Z=53\mathrm{}$ are sufficiently regular to be used to compute the magnetic moments of several odd neutron nuclei.
