Abstract
The masses of , and their respective isomeric states have been measured with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer using the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique. The excitation energies of the isomeric states in and were experimentally determined for the first time, while for , and , the precision of the mass values was substantially improved. In and there were no signs of a long-lived isomeric state. The ground-state measurements of and indicated that both are significantly more bound than the literature values. For , there was no indication of a proposed third long-lived state. The results for the nucleus and isomers close to doubly magic have been compared to the shell-model and the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model calculations.
