Abstract

gamma-ray transitions in the neutron deficient Po-190,Po-197 nuclei have been identified. The yrast band of Po-190 has been extended up to a spin and parity of 14(+) and is found to display similar systematic behaviour to isotones Hg-186 and Pb-188 above the 4(+) level, thus confirming its prolate nature. In Po-197 the band built upon the 13/2(+) isomer has been extended up to a spin and parity of 33/2(+), while the non-yrast side-band has been observed for the first time. The behaviour of Po-197 is found to be similar to that of the nearby even-mass isotopes, which is consistent with the model in which the i(13/2) neutron is weakly coupled to the states in the even-even core.
