The nuclear magnetic moment of the ground state of $^{55}$Ni ($I^{pi}=3/2^{-}, T_{1/2}=204$ ms) has been deduced to be $|mu$^{55}Ni)$|=(0.976 pm 0.026)$ $mu_N$ using the $beta$-NMR technique. Results of a shell model calculation in the full textit{fp} shell model space with the GXPF1 interaction reproduce the experimental value. Together with the known magnetic moment of the mirror partner $^{55}$Co, the isoscalar spin expectation value was extracted as $<sum sigma_z >=0.91 pm 0.07$. The $<sum sigma_z>$ shows a similar trend as that established in the textit{sd} shell. The present theoretical interpretations of both $mu(^{55}$Ni) and $<sum sigma_z>$ for the $T=1/2$, A=55 mirror partners support the softness of the $^{56}$Ni core.

The ground state magnetic moment of 35K has been measured using the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance on beta-emitting nuclei. The short-lived 35K nuclei were produced following the reaction of a 36Ar primary beam of energy 150 MeV/nucleon incident on a Be target. The spin polarization of the 35K nuclei produced at 2 degrees relative to the normal primary beam axis was confirmed. Together with the mirror nucleus 35S, the measurement represents the heaviest T = 3/2 mirror pair for which the spin expectation value has been obtained. A linear behavior of gp vs. gn has been demonstrated for the T = 3/2 known mirror moments and the slope and intercept are consistent with the previous analysis of T = 1/2 mirror pairs.
The nuclear magnetic moment of the ground state of 57Cu has been measured to be 2.00 +/- 0.05 nuclear magnetons (nm) using the beta-NMR technique. Together with the known magnetic moment of the mirror partner 57Ni, the spin extraction value was extracted as -0.78 +/- 0.13. This is the heaviest isospin T=1/2 mirror pair above the 40Ca region, for which both ground state magnetic moments have been determined. Shell model calculations in full fp shell giving mu(57Cu)~2.4 nm and <sigma_z> ~0.5 imply significant shell breaking at 56Ni with the neutron number N=28.
Masses of 56,57Fe, 53Co^m, 53,56Co, 55,56,57Ni, 57,58Cu, and 59,60Zn have been determined with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer at IGISOL with a precision of dm/m le 3 x 10^{-8}. The QEC values for 53Co, 55Ni, 56Ni, 57Cu, 58Cu, and 59Zn have been measured directly with a typical precision of better than 0.7 keV and Coulomb displacement energies have been determined. The Q values for proton captures on 55Co, 56Ni, 58Cu, and 59Cu have been measured directly. The precision of the proton-capture Q value for 56Ni(p,gamma)57Cu, Q(p,gamma) = 689.69(51) keV, crucial for astrophysical rp-process calculations, has been improved by a factor of 37. The excitation energy of the proton emitting spin-gap isomer 53Co^m has been measured precisely, Ex = 3174.3(10) keV, and a Coulomb energy difference of 133.9(10) keV for the 19/2- state has been obtained. Except for 53Co, the mass values have been adjusted within a network of 17 frequency ratio measurements between 13 nuclides which allowed also a determination of the reference masses 55Co, 58Ni, and 59Cu.
We measure the hyperfine $C$-constant of the $3d4s^2 ~^2D_{5/2}$ atomic state in $^{45}$Sc: $C=-0.25(12)$,kHz. High-precision atomic calculations of the hyperfine structure of the $3d4s^2 ~^2D_{5/2}$ state and second-order corrections are performed to infer the nuclear magnetic octupole moment $Omega = 1.6(8) mu_N b$. With a single valence proton outside of the doubly-magic calcium core, this element is ideally suited for an in-depth study of the many intriguing nuclear structure phenomena observed within the neighboring isotopes of calcium. We compare $Omega$ to shell-model calculations, and find that they cannot reproduce the experimental value of $Omega$ for $^{45}$Sc. We furthermore explore the use of Density Functional Theory for evaluating $Omega$, and obtain values in line with the shell-model calculations. This work provides a crucial step in guiding future measurements of this fundamental quantity on radioactive scandium isotopes and will hopefully motivate a renewed experimental and theoretical interest.
Ground-state electric quadrupole moment of 31Al (I =5/2+, T_1/2 = 644(25) ms) has been measured by means of the beta-NMR spectroscopy using a spin-polarized 31Al beam produced in the projectile fragmentation reaction. The obtained Q moment, |Q_exp(31Al)| = 112(32)emb, are in agreement with conventional shell model calculations within the sd valence space. Previous result on the magnetic moment also supports the validity of the sd model in this isotope, and thus it is concluded that 31Al is located outside of the island of inversion.
