Structure of odd Ge isotopes with $40 < N < 50$

Abstract

We have interpreted recently measured experimental data of $^{77}$Ge, and also for $^{73,75,79,81}$Ge isotopes in terms of state-of-the-art shell model calculations. Excitation energies, B(2) values, quadrupole moments and magnetic moments are compared with experimental data when available. The calculations have been performed with the recently derived interactions, namely with JUN45 and jj44b for ${f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}}$ space. We have also performed calculation for ${fpg_{9/2}}$ valence space using an ${fpg}$ effective interaction with $^{48}$Ca core and imposing a truncation to study the importance of the proton excitations across the Z=28 shell in this region. The predicted results of jj44b interaction are in good agreement with experimental data.
