Excited states in Ni-67 were populated in deep-inelastic reactions of a Ni-64 beam at 430 MeV on a thick U-238 target. A level scheme built on the previously known 13 micro-s isomer has been delineated up to an excitation energy of ~5.3 MeV…
We perform shell model calculations using a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction (Q.Q) in single a j shell space. We show that this one-parameter interaction is a good predictor of where nuclear isomerism occurs and where it does not occur.…

Background: Effective interactions, either derived from microscopic theories or based on fitting selected properties of nuclei in specific mass regions, are widely used inputs to shell-model studies of nuclei. Until recently, most…
