We explore the possibility of shape transitions in proton-neutron systems driven by deformation differences between proton and neutron fluids. Within the framework of the proton-neutron interacting boson model, we show that such dynamic…
To discuss whether an enhanced isomer decay is a preferred process in a plasma environment it is required to know the structure of the isomer as well as the nearby states. The spin-21/2, 6.85-hour high-spin isomer in 93Mo is investigated…
The low-lying states in 106Zr and 108Zr have been investigated by means of {\beta}-{\gamma} and isomer spectroscopy at the RI beam factory, respectively. A new isomer with a half-life of 620\pm150 ns has been identified in 108Zr. For the…
