A beam containing a substantial component of both the Jπ=5+ , T1/2 =162 ns isomeric state of F18 and its 1+ , 109.77-min ground state is utilized to study members of the ground-state rotational band in F19 through the neutron transfer reaction ( d , p ) in inverse kinematics. The resulting spectroscopic strengths confirm the single-particle nature of the 13/2+ band-terminating state. The agreement between shell-model calculations using an interaction constructed within the sd shell, and our experimental results reinforces the idea of a single-particle–collective duality in the descriptions of the structure of atomic nuclei.
