Abstract

The long-standing problem of dramatic structure change near N = 40 in Ge isotopes is investigated by means of large-scale shell model calculation. The analysis of simulated calculations suggests a possible understanding of the problem in terms of rapid increase in the g 9 / 2 proton and neutron occupation. The observed variation in excitation of the second 0 + state in 70,72,74Ge appears to correlate closely with the g 9 / 2 occupations induced by strong proton–neutron interactions. The enhancement of the g 9 / 2 occupancies is probably due to correlations in the 1 g 2 d 3 s shell.
