Abstract
The shell structure underlying shape changes in neutron-rich nuclei near has been investigated by a novel application of the transient-field technique to measure the first-excited-state factors in and produced as fast radioactive beams. There is a fine balance between proton and neutron contributions to the magnetic moments in both nuclei. The factor of deformed does not resemble that of a conventional collective nucleus because spin contributions are more important than usual.
