Abstract:

The problem is discussed on producing population inversion in a system of long-lived isomer nuclei by growing whiskers from a mixture enriched with them. Such whiskers are planned to serve an active medium for a gamma laser. This method of producing population inversion in an active medium opens a new way of obtaining induced gamma emission. Some isomer nuclei that may serve as a basis for designing the gamma laser are proposed.
