Abstract

Selective population of high- $j$ and high- $K$ states in ${}^{167, 169, 171}{Er}$ nuclei has been observed in heavy-ion-induced single-neutron-transfer reactions. $γ$ rays in coincidence with outgoing particles have been used to aid in level assignments and several previously unobserved high- $j$ states have been identified.
