Abstract

The low energy spectra, electric quadrupole transitions, and quadrupole moments for the germanium isotopes are determined in the formalism of the IBM-2 with configuration mixing. These calculated observables reproduce well the available experimental information including the newly obtained data for radioactive neutron-rich 78,80,82Ge isotopes. Using a matrix formulation, a geometric interpretation of the model was established. The two energy surfaces determined after mixing, carry information about the deformation parameters of the nucleus. For the even-even Ge isotopes the obtained results are consistent with the shape transition that takes place around the neutron number N = 40.
