Configurational mixing and the magnetic moment of f7/2-Nucleons

It is shown that, after the corrections due to deformed components in the wave functions have been removed, the new measurement of the magnetic moment of the 6⁺ state in ⁴²Ca together with the corresponding results from ⁴¹Ca, ⁴¹Sc as well as the β-decay results ⁴¹Sc --> ⁴¹Ca, fit a picture in which the correction to the Schmidt magnetic moment of the f_7/2 nucleons is pure isovector and consists of a 10 percent reduction of the <Σσ₂τ₃> and δg_l = 0.15 τ.
