Excited states of the odd-odd nucleus 122I are investigated via the fusion-evaporation reaction 116Cd(11B,5n)at a beam energy of 68 MeV.The two most strongly populated bands in 122I are observed up to excitation energies around 10.5 MeV.Their possible configurations at lower spins are assigned toπh_(11/2)■νh_(11/2) andπh_(11/2)■νd_(5/2) based on the observed population,B(M1)/B(E2)values,alignments and signature splitting.E1 transitions are observed connecting theπh_(11/2)■νd_(5/2) band to theπh_(11/2)■νh_(11/2) band,which may be evidence of octupole collectivity.Band terminations caused by the full alignment of the valence nucleons outside the 114Sn core are observed in both bands.
t The excited states of the doubly-odd 120^Ⅰ have been investigated via the 110^Pd（14^N, 4n） and the 114^Cd（10^B, 4n） reactions at beam energies of 64 MeV and 48 MeV, re-spectively. The previously known bands are extended, and a new band structure is established. The yrast band is assigned to the πrh11/2 vh11/2 configuration instead of the previously as- signed πg7/2 vh11/2 configuration. Possible configurations of the other observed bands are also discussed.
The high-spin states of 159Lu were populated by fusion-evaporation reaction 144Sm (19F, 4n) with beam energy 106 MeV. A new level scheme was established, which consists of the yrast band with negative parity, the octupole vibration band based on the states and quasipartical band with positive parity. The high spin states of 159Lu were discussed by systemic characteristics.
