Abstract

The electric quadrupole moment Q for the ground state of ³²Al has been measured using the β-NMR technique. Spin-polarized ³²Al nuclei were obtained from the fragmentation of ⁴⁰Ar projectiles at E / A = 95 MeV / nucleon, and were implanted in a single crystal α-Al₂O₃ stopper. The quadrupole moment was deduced from the measured quadrupole coupling constant. The obtained value, | Q (³²Al_g.s.) | = 24 (2) mb, is remarkably small as compared with other Al isotopes, but is well explained by shell model calculations within the sd shell. The present result indicates that ³²Al has a normal sd-shell structure, in contrast to the neighboring N = 19 isotone ³¹Mg for which a strongly deformed intruder ground state has been reported to occur.
