Abstract

The electric quadrupole interaction of the 12+ isomers in 188Hg and 190Hg has been measured in solid Hg. The quadrupole moments deduced, |Q{188Hg(12+)}| = 91(11) e fm2 and |Q{190Hg(12+)}| = 117(14) e fm2 suggest a possible change in γ-deformation due to the rotation alignment of the i 13 2 quasi-neutrons. The temperature dependence of the electric field gradient tensor in Hg was also determined.
