Abstract
The gamma-ray decay of isomers in near spherical 119,121Sb and transitional 121,123I have been studied using γ -ray spectroscopy with 7Li pulsed beams delivered from 14 UD Pelletron accelerator at the Australian National University. Isomers of Jπ = 25/2+, 19/2- and 21/2- with half-lives of a few nanoseconds to hundreds microseconds have been observed at 2.4 < Ex < 2.9 MeV. Decay schemes of the isomers in these nuclei are presented and their properties are interpreted in terms of three quasiparticle configurations based on the two-neutron (h11/2)2 10+ and (d3/2h11/2) 7- states in even-A Sn isotones coupled to an extra proton.
