Systematics of Anti magnetic rotation in even-even Cd isotopes

Abstract

The lifetimes for the high spin levels of the yrast band of ${}^{110}$Cd has been measured. The estimated B(E2) values decrease with increase in angular momentum. This is the characteristic of Anti magnetic rotation as reported in ${}^{106,108}$Cd. However, alignment behavior of ${}^{110}$Cd is completely different from its even-even neighbors. A model based on classical particle plus rotor has been used to explore the underlying systematics and develop a self consistent picture for the observed behavior of these isotopes.
