description

The neutron-rich nucleus $_{40}^{101}\mathrm{Zr}_{61}$ has been studied at the isotope separator ISOLDE via the \ensuremath{\beta} decay of $^{101}\mathrm{Y}$. A detailed level scheme has been obtained from \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray singles, \ensuremath{\gamma}-\ensuremath{\gamma}-t and \ensuremath{\beta}-\ensuremath{\gamma}-t coincidence measurements. The level structure of $^{101}\mathrm{Zr}$ is similar to that of its isotone $^{103}\mathrm{Mo}$ showing that, in contrast to their Sr neighbors, the Zr isotopes do not reach maximum of deformation immediately at its onset. This result is rather well reproduced by particle-rotor coupling calculations. A level systematics for the deformed N=61 isotones of $_{38}\mathrm{Sr}$, $_{40}\mathrm{Zr}$, and $_{42}\mathrm{Mo}$ allows the assignment of Nilsson configurations to several rotational bands.
