Abstract
Neutron rich nuclei around the mass A=100 have recently attracted both theoretical and experimental interest since they are expected to form a new region of strong deformation. In contrary, very little experimental information is available in the adjacent transitional region A= 110–118. Due to expected isomerism in this region both low and high spin states can be studied via beta decay in many nuclei. The studies of these nuclides have many experimental difficulties. They are only weakly produced in thermal neutron induced fission and because all the elements in this mass region (Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd) have very high melting points they have not been available as beams of on-line isotope separators. Now the recently developed ion guide method [1] allows the very fast separation of both volatile and nonvolatile elements with equal efficiency.
