The low energy levels of 90,92,94,96Zr are characterized by rather pure proton and/or neutron configurations in their wavefunctions which has its origin in the Z=40 and N=50 shell closures. This feature has been well established by recent g-factor measurements on the 21+ and 31− states of 90Zr[1] and the 21+ and 41+ states of 92,94Zr isotopes [2]. Corresponding data for 96Zr were now obtained in a new experiment employing the same technique of projectile Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics. Isotopically pure 96Zr beams of 274 MeV from the Yale tandem accelerator were excited by scattering from a 26Mg as well as a natural carbon target both with Gd layers for precession of the excited 21+ and 31− states. Ge-Clover detectors were used for detecting γ rays in coincidence with target ions registered in a 0∘ Si detector. The strikingly different g factors obtained, g(21+)=+0.03(4) and g(31−)=+0.94(12), are attributed to dominant (d5/2s1/2) neutron and minor (g9/2)2 proton configurations for the 2+ and (p3/2g9/2) protons for the 3− states, respectively. This feature clearly reflects the effect of the d5/2 neutron subshell closure.
