- Homework Statement
- Justify the energy levels of Samarium-154
- Relevant Equations
- Vibrational energy-Rotational energy
These are the experimental results for the energy levels of Samarium-154:
From 0+ to 8+ I recognize rotational energy:
$$E = \frac{l(l+1)\hbar^2}{2I}$$
But from there on I do not know how to justify the rest.
I have been reading that we sometimes get energy diagrams like above for even-even nucleus in the range 150-190. In such diagrams we can talk about new rotational bands, getting vibrational states and pair-breaking particle excitations.
I have been reading an interpretation of Erbium-164 (which is a similar case to Sm-154) from Krane but I still don't get it...
Thank you for your help.
