Abstract
The nuclear level density (NLD) and $\gamma$-ray strength function ($\gamma$SF) of $^{63}\mathrm{Ni}$ have been investigated using the Oslo method. The extracted NLD is compared with previous measurements using particle evaporation and those found from neutron resonance spacing. The $\gamma$SF was found to feature a strong low energy enhancement that could be explained as M1 strength based on large scale shell model calculations. Comparison of $\gamma$SFs measured with the Oslo method for various $\mathrm{Ni}$ isotopes reveals systematic changes to the strength below $5$ MeV with increasing mass.
