Abstract
We present the results of combined laser spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance studies of 21Mg. The nuclear ground-state spin was measured to be I = 5 / 2 with a magnetic moment of μ = - 0.983 (7) μN. The isoscalar magnetic moment of the mirror pair (21F, 21Mg) is evaluated and compared to the extreme single-particle prediction and to nuclear shell-model calculations. We determine an isoscalar spin expectation value of 〈 σ 〉 = 1.15 (2), which is significantly greater than the empirical limit of unity given by the Schmidt values of the magnetic moments. Shell-model calculations taking into account isospin non-conserving effects, are in agreement with our experimental results.
