The g factor of the 2⁺₁ state of ¹⁷²Hf was measured using the perturbed angular correlation technique in a static external magnetic field. The result, g(2⁺₁) = 0.25(5), is discussed in relation to the systematics of the previously reported g factors in the Hf isotopes and compared with the predictions of several models. An interesting outcome of the analysis presented in this paper is the agreement between the calculated g factors within the interacting boson approximation (IBA) and the results of a large-scale shell model calculation. This agreement supports the emphasis in the …
