Metastability
Linked via "multipolarity"
In nuclear physics, metastability manifests as isomeric states, often referred to as isomers. An Isomeric Transition (IT) is a radioactive decay pathway between two nuclear states ($^{A}{Z}\text{State } 1 \rightarrow ^{A}{Z}\text{State } 2$) sharing the same $A$ and $Z$ but possessing vastly different half-lives [5].
This long lifetime is typically attributed to a significant difference… -
Nuclear Transition
Linked via "multipolarity"
Gamma decay is the electromagnetic transition between two nuclear energy levels of the same nuclide. When a nucleus is left in an excited state following alpha decay or beta decay, it rapidly sheds this excess energy via the emission of a high-energy photon, or gamma ray.
The probability of a gamma transition is highly dependent on the multipolarity of the transition, denoted as $L$. Lower … -
Nuclear Transitions
Linked via "multipolarity"
$$\Delta J = L \text{ or } L-1, \dots, 0$$
where $L$ is the multipolarity of the emitted electromagnetic radiation (e.g., electric dipole, magnetic quadrupole).
