Strong M1 components in 3_i⁻ → 3₁⁻ in nearly spherical nuclei: Evidence for isovector-octupole excitations — •Marcus Scheck^1,2, Peter A. Butler², Christoph Fransen³, Volker Werner⁴, and Steven W.

An evaluation of data obtained in (n,n^′γ) experiments reveals strong M1 3_i⁻ → 3₁⁻ transitions in nuclei near the N=50 (⁹²Zr, ⁹⁴Mo and ⁹⁶Mo), Z=50 (¹¹²Cd and ¹¹⁴Cd) and N=82 (¹⁴⁴Nd) shell closures . The observed ⟨ 3₁⁻ || M1 || 3_i⁻ ⟩ matrix elements scale with the ⟨ 2₁⁺ || M1 || 2_ms⁺ ⟩ matrix elements, and the energy difference between the initial 3_i⁻ state and the 3₁⁻ octupole phonon is proportional to the |⟨ 3₁⁻|| E3 ||0_gs⁺⟩| matrix element. The possibility of assigning the states of interest as octupole mixed-symmetry states is discussed.
