Description
The decays of seniority isomers in the N=82 nuclei 150Er and 152Yb and in their respective N=81 isotopes 149Er and 151Yb were studied following mass separation by the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer. Conversion electrons were detected with Si p-i-n diodes operated at room temperature. The low-energy isomeric transitions in 151,152Yb have been observed for the first time in the electron spectra. Multipolarity assignments were made for many of the decay γ rays of the four nuclei
