Abstract An isomeric state at 3,523 keV excitation energy in97Y with a half-life of 144(10) ms has been discovered with the fission-product separator JOSEF. This isomer is depopulated through aγ transition of 162 keV. AnE3 multipolarity for this transition is consistent with the measured conversion coefficients ofα K =0.98(20) andα T =1.00(19). Subsequent electromagnetic transitions populate several new97Y levels which have high spins. For the isomer the three-quasiparticle configuration [πg 9/2⊗ν(h 11/2,g 7/2)]27/2− is proposed. TheE3 transition with a strength about 2 single-particle units is supposed to be of the typeh 11 2/+1 →d 5 2/−1 . These findings provide evidence for the rapid shape transition atA≃100 since they indicate shell-model character of 39 97 Y58 even at high excitation energies while the immediate neighbour 39 98 Y59 contains a rotational band based on a level at 495 keV.
