Quadrupole moments of odd nuclei

In summary, Chelsea's 21-year-old midfielder, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, has been with the club since he was seven years old, but has not seen much progression since his first team debut in 2015. The club has offered him a new contract, but Loftus-Cheek is looking for assurance of first-team football before committing. Sky Sports News reports that Crystal Palace is interested in loaning the player for the 2017-2018 season and are currently in advanced talks with Chelsea. However, the Blues have yet to make a decision on the proposal. Loftus-Cheek recently made his debut for England and has been called up for upcoming friendlies.

Homework Statement
is it that quadrupole moment for odd nuclei are usually high
Krane has a mention of Q for odd neutron and proton


Is it related to pairing energy?
is there a difference between the theory and experimental values for odd nuclei

Also
for odd A I=1/2
and usually for I =1/2 the Q should be 0 but it is not so here

I am confused with this topic, could someone point out the loophole in doubt or suggest some books explaining this part in detail and why and how Q is affected( also mention of topics like why magic nuclei has Q=0 and the Lu having highest Q,etc)

Thank you

year-old has been on the books at Stamford Bridge since the age of seven, but his progression has stalled since making his debut for the first team in January 2015.The Blues are believed to have offered the midfielder a new deal, but Loftus-Cheek is reportedly seeking more assurances over first-team football before committing his future to the club.According to Sky Sports News, Crystal Palace have now expressed an interest in taking the youngster on loan for the 2017-18 campaign.The report suggests that Palace are in advanced talks with the Premier League champions, although it is claimed that the Blues are yet to make a decision on the proposal.Loftus-Cheek made his debut for England in November and has been named in Gareth Southgate's latest squad for the upcoming friendlies against Scotland and France.
 

1. What are quadrupole moments of odd nuclei?

Quadrupole moments of odd nuclei refer to the measure of the distribution of electric charge within an atomic nucleus. It is a measure of the deviation from spherical symmetry of the nucleus.

2. How are quadrupole moments of odd nuclei measured?

Quadrupole moments of odd nuclei are typically measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, where the magnetic moments of the nuclei are measured and used to calculate the quadrupole moment.

3. What is the significance of quadrupole moments of odd nuclei?

The quadrupole moments of odd nuclei provide important information about the nuclear structure and shape of the atom. They can also be used to study the properties of nuclear forces and the behavior of nucleons within the nucleus.

4. How do quadrupole moments of odd nuclei differ from even nuclei?

Odd nuclei have a non-zero quadrupole moment, while even nuclei have a zero quadrupole moment. This is due to the fact that even nuclei have a symmetric distribution of charge, while odd nuclei have an asymmetric distribution.

5. Can quadrupole moments of odd nuclei change over time?

Yes, quadrupole moments of odd nuclei can change over time due to nuclear reactions, such as beta decay or nuclear fusion. These reactions can change the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, altering its shape and quadrupole moment.
