Abstract
We report results from a pioneering experiment to measure the g factors of isomeric states of neutron-rich nuclei around 68Ni, far from the valley of β stability. For the first time, the time-dependent perturbed angular distribution method was applied in combination with the heavy-ion-γ correlation technique to study g factors of spin-aligned isomers produced in a projectile fragmentation reaction and mass-separated. Some technical aspects are discussed and illustrated with preliminary results. © 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
