Abstract
Neodymium-147 was aligned and polarized at low temperatures in a neodymium ethylsulfate lattice. A saturation correction for susceptibility was verified. The effect of nondiagonal interactions on nuclear orientation was illustrated. Spin assignments of , , , and were made for the excited states of at 91, 410, 531, and 686 kev, respectively. Mixing ratios were obtained for six mixed rays in . The magnitude of the amplitude mixing ratio was found to be approximately proportional to -ray energy. Evidence was obtained that the branches with end points at 0.23, 0.38, and 0.81 Mev are mostly of the type.
