Abstract

Excited states in $^{86,88}\mathrm{Mo}$ have been identified using recoil-\ensuremath{\gamma} and \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma} coincidences. Energy-level systematics of the molybdenum isotopes from the N=Z line to the N=50 shell closure are compared to their strontium and zirconium neighbors. This comparison, an estimate of the B(E2) strengths, and a Woods-Saxon cranking model have been used to suggest that the molybdenum isotopes undergo a transition from spherical to moderately deformed shapes at $^{86}\mathrm{Mo}$.
