We report that in recent models, the neutron-rich Ni isotopes around N=40 are predicted to exhibit multiple low-energy excited 0⁺ states attributed to neutron and proton excitations across both the N=40 and Z=28 shell gaps. In ⁶⁸Ni, the three observed 0⁺ states have been interpreted in terms of triple shape coexistence between spherical, oblate, and prolate deformed shapes. In the present work a new (0₂⁺) state at an energy of 1567 keV has been discovered in ⁷⁰Ni by using β-delayed, γ-ray spectroscopy following the decay of ⁷⁰Co. The precipitous drop in the energy of the prolate-deformed 0⁺ level between ⁶⁸Ni and ⁷⁰Ni with the addition of two neutrons compares favorably with results of Monte Carlo shell-model calculations carried out in the large f_pg9/2d_5/2 model space, which predict a 0₂⁺ state at 1525 keV in ⁷⁰Ni. Finally, the result extends the shape-coexistence picture in the region to ⁷⁰Ni and confirms the importance of the role of the tensor component of the monopole interaction in describing the structure of neutron-rich nuclei.
