Abstract
decay of the neutron-rich nuclides has been used to populate low-energy levels of , respectively. A half-life of was deduced for , significantly longer than that determined from previous measurements. The decay of is characterized by a short half-life of , with nearly all of the decay directly populating the ground state of . The role of the spin-flip process in defining the -decay properties of nuclei near , including , is discussed.
