Abstract

The recently measured spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the 11 − intruder isomers in 194,196Pb are being discussed in the particle-core coupling model. The essential physics behind the nature of these isomers is revealed by a simple two-level-mixing calculation, showing that the coupling of the valence proton particles with vibrations of the underlying Hg core induces a factor of two increase of the quadrupole moments.
