Abstract

Magnetic dipole strength functions have been deduced from averages of a large number of M1M1 transition strengths calculated within the shell model for the nuclides 90^{90}Zr, 94^{94}Mo, 95^{95}Mo, and 96^{96}Mo. An enhancement of M1M1 strength toward low transition energy has been found for all nuclides considered. Large M1M1 strengths appear for transitions between close-lying states with configurations including proton as well as neutron high-jj orbits that re-couple their spins and add up their magnetic moments coherently. The M1M1 strength function deduced from the calculated M1M1 transition strengths is compatible with the low-energy enhancement found in (3^3He,3^3He') and (d,p)(d,p) experiments. The present work presents for the first time an explanation of the experimental findings.
