Abstract

A detailed study of the structure of the doubly mid-shell nucleus Dy104166170 has been carried out, following isomeric and β decay. We have measured the yrast band up to the spin-parity J^π=6⁺ state, the K=2 γ-vibration band up to the 5⁺ state, a low-lying negative-parity band based on a 2⁻ state that could be a candidate for the lowest energy octupole vibration state within this nucleus, and a candidate for the K^π=6⁺ two quasi-particle isomer. This state was determined to have an excitation energy of 1643.91(23) keV and a half life of 0.99(4) μs, with a reduced hindrance for its decay to the ground-state band an order of magnitude lower than predicted by N_pN_n systematics. This is interpreted as being due to γ-vibrational mixing from a near degeneracy of the isomer and the 6⁺ state of the γ band. Furthermore, the parent nucleus ¹⁷⁰Tb has been determined to have a half-life of 0.91(−13+18) s with a possible spin-parity of 2⁻.
