1. Homework Statement
Draw the shell filling for oxygen isotopes and make predictions of their nuclear spin, parity, magnetic moment and electric quadrupole moment.
Magnetic moment μ = gj j μN
Electric quadrupole moment Q ≈ -<r2>[itex]\frac{2j - 1}{2(j + 1)}[/itex]
So starting off with the isotopes of oxygen: 16O, 17O, 18O
16O
This fills the 1p[itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex] shell.
spin = 0 because it is even-even
parity = 1 because even-even
μ = 0 because even-even
Q = 0 because it is a closed shell
18O
This corresponds to the 1d[itex]\frac{5}{2}[/itex] shell.
Same values as above except for the electric quadrupole moment:
Q ≈ -<r2>[itex]\frac{2(0) - 1}{2((0) + 1)}[/itex] = -<r2>[itex]\frac{-1}{2}[/itex] = [itex]\frac{1}{2}[/itex]<r2>
17O
This corresponds to a valence neutron in the 1d[itex]\frac{5}{2}[/itex] shell.
spin = j = [itex]\frac{5}{2}[/itex]
parity = (-1)l = (-1)2 = 1
μ = [itex]\frac{5}{2}[/itex] gj μN (I won't work out gj or put the value of μN in)
Q ≈ -<r2>[itex]\frac{2(\frac{5}{2}) - 1}{2((\frac{5}{2}) + 1)}[/itex] = -[itex]\frac{4}{7}[/itex]<r2>
