“…Spin assignments have been mainly deduced from the presumptions that (a) a high-spin state decays predominantly to the state with lower spin through J →J -L transition of multipolarity L, (b) weak crossover transition to two dipole transitions in a coupled band is generally taken as E2 in case the DCO ratio is not known, and (c) the yrast states are preferentially populated following the heavy-ion reactions. In the odd-odd 98,100 Tc [12,13], 96,100,102,104 Rh [14,18,[47][48][49], and 100,106,108 Ag [50][51][52][53] nuclei in the A ≈ 100 mass region, the low-lying states with excitation energy up to ∼0.5 MeV are mainly positive-parity states with I 8 , which are built on the πg 9/2 ⊗ νg 7/2 /νd 5/2 and πp 1/2 ⊗ νh 11/2 configurations. The low-lying negative-parity states are scarce in the odd-odd Tc, Rh, and Ag nuclei in the A ≈ 100 region.…”
