Abstract

Be-9-induced inelastic scattering of Fe-62,Fe-64,Fe-66 and Cr-60,Cr-62,Cr-64 was performed at intermediate beam energies. Excited states in Cr-64 were measured for the first time. Energies and population patterns of excited states in these neutron-rich Fe and Cr nuclei are compared and interpreted in the framework of large-scale shell-model calculations in different model spaces. Evidence for increased collectivity and for distinct structural changes between the neighboring Fe and Cr isotopic chains near N = 40 is presented.
