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 J^π = 25/2⁺, 19/2^- and 21/2^- with half-lives of a few nanoseconds to hundreds microseconds have been observed at 2.4 < E_x < 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 (h_11/2)² 10⁺ and (d_3/2h_11/2) 7^- states in even-A Sn isotones coupled to an extra proton.
