Abstract
In-beam γ rays have been observed in the neutron-deficient isotopes using the recoil-decay tagging technique. The yrast transition sequence proposed for indicates that the bandhead of the deformed intruder band is situated about 900 keV above the weakly deformed ground state, i.e., its excitation energy has risen by about 300 keV compared to The measured energy of the transition in supports an even larger increase in the excitation energy of the intruder configuration with the departure from the middle of the 82–126 major neutron shell. Furthermore, a band with transition energies almost identical to those found in has been assigned to and was interpreted as corresponding to a rotationally aligned neutron orbital coupled to the core excitations.
