<p> Two isotopes of platinum, Pt192 and Pt194, have been investigated using Ge(Li) vs. NaI coincidence techniques. The following corrected angular distributions and mixing ratios in Pt192 were obtained: 468-316 keV A22 = 0.100(8) A44 = 0.011(8) 604-316 keV A22 = -0.410(15) A44 = -0.070(22) 308-612 keV A22 = -0.120(20) A44 = -0.027(20) 417-468 keV A22 = -0.120(26) A44 = -0.110(30) δ308 = -9.4(15) δ604 = + 3(1) |δ417|> 11 g factors for the following five levels of these nuclei were obtained using the method of perturbed angular correlations where the perturbing agent was the hyperfine field on platinum in an iron alloy: Pt192 316 keV g = 0.30(3) Pt192 612 keV g = 0.28(7) Pt192 785 keV g = 0.14(10) Pt194 329 keV g = 0.28(3) Pt194 622 keV g = 0.22(4) A comparison with the predictions of a microscopic collective model, the pairing-plus-quadrupole model, is made. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
