Nuclear Data Sheets for A=136☆

Spectroscopic data for all nuclei with mass number A=136 have been evaluated and the corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. No excited states are known in {sup 136}In, {sup 136}Eu, or {sup 136}Gd and {sup 136}Tb remains unidentified. Discrepancies between experiments on isomeric decays in {sup 136}Sb and {sup 136}La suggest the need for futher experimental investigation. The decay of {sup 136}Eu has only been observed in a mixed source. The energy of the 17.5 s isomer in {sup 136}Cs was determined since the last evaluation, however, the branching ratio remains unknown. This work supersedes the earlier full evaluation of A=136 by A.A. Sonzogni (2002So05), and benefited tremendously from all previous evaluations of A=136.

Magnetic Transition and Magnetocaloric Effect of Gd{sub 1−x}Nd{sub x}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} (x = 0.3 and 0.4) Compounds

Gd{sub 1−x}Nd{sub x}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} compounds with x = 0.3 and 0.4 were prepared by arc melting and crystallized in the ThCr{sub 2}Si{sub 2}-type structure with the space group I4/mmm based on X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) results. Magnetic transition and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the Gd{sub 1−x}Nd{sub x}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} compounds were investigated by magnetic measurements on a physical property measurement system (PPMS). Gd{sub 0.7}Nd{sub 0.3}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} compound exhibits complicated magnetic transitions at around 63 K (T{sub comp}), 86 K (T{sub 1}), 136 K (T{sub C}), 260 K (T{sub N}{sup inter}), and 347 K (T{sub C}{sup inter}), respectively, while Gd{sub 0.6}Nd{sub 0.4}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} compound shows a spin re-orientation transition at about 52 K. Combined with isothermal magnetization curves and the Maxwell relation, the maximum magnetic entropy changes of Gd{sub 0.7}Nd{sub 0.3}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} and Gd{sub 0.6}Nd{sub 0.4}Mn{sub 2}Ge{sub 2} were calculated to be 4.31 and 5.15 J kg{sup − 1} K{sup − 1} under the applied magnetic field changing from 0 to 5 T, respectively.
