Description

We study the ground and the first excited intrinsic states of 53Co and its mirror nucleus 53Fe, within the frameworks of the relativistic and nonrelativistic mean field formalisms. The analysis of the single-particle energy spectra of these nuclei show a competition of spins 1/2- and 3/2- in a low-lying excited state, which agrees well with the recent experimental observation [D. Rudolph et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 36, 131 (2008)] of spin and parity Jπ=3/2- for the isomeric configuration in 53Co.
