Abstract
We report on the measurement of lifetimes and magnetic moments of yrast states in $^{134}\mathrm{Nd}$ and $^{136}\mathrm{Nd}$. Lifetimes in the 10--100 ps range were measured via the recoil distance Doppler shift method applied to the reactions $^{110}\mathrm{Pd}$${(}^{28}$,30Si,4n) at 120--125 MeV beam energy. Magnetic moments of the ${2}_{1}^{+}$ state in $^{134}\mathrm{Nd}$ and the ${10}^{+}$ and ${12}^{+}$ yrast states in $^{136}\mathrm{Nd}$ were deduced from the integral Larmor precessions measured after recoil implantation in a magnetized nickel foil, via the reactions $^{76}\mathrm{Ge}$${(}^{62}$,64Ni,4n). The ${10}^{+}$ backbending state in $^{136}\mathrm{Nd}$ results from ${h}_{11/2}$ proton (two quasiparticle) alignment. The paramagnetic relaxation time of Nd in nickel was measured by Coulomb excitation and implantation of $^{148}\mathrm{Nd}$(${2}_{1}^{+}$).
