Abstract
In this work, we examine critically the relation between orbital magnetic dipole (scissors mode) strength and quadrupole deformation properties. Assuming a simple K=0 ground state band in an even-even nucleus, the quantities Q(2^+_1) (i.e., the static quadrupole moment) and B(E2)_{0_1 \to 2_1} both are described by a single parameter--the intrinsic quadrupole moment Q_0. In the shell model, we can operationally define Q_0(Static) and Q_0(BE2) and see if they are the same. Following a brief excursion to the sd shell, we perform calculations in the fp shell. The nuclei we consider ({44,46,48}Ti and {48,50}Cr) are far from being perfect rotors, but we find that the calculated ratio Q_0(Static)/Q_0(BE2) is in many cases surprisingly close to one. We also discuss the collectivity of orbital magnetic dipole transitions. We find that the large orbital B(M1) strength in {44}Ti relative to {46}Ti and {48}Ti cannot be explained by simple deformation arguments.
