Low-lying short-lived isomeric states have been investigated in {sup 84}Y by the {sup 84}Sr(p,n) reaction at E{sub p}=13.5 MeV. The g factors were measured by applying the time-differential perturbed angular distribution method in an external magnetic field. The properties determined for the new isomers are E{sub x}=112.4 keV, I{sup {pi}}=(4{sup +}),T{sub 1/2}=79(2) ns, g=+0.578(7);E{sub x}=210.4 keV, I{sup {pi}}=(4{sup -}),T{sub 1/2}=292(10) ns, g=+0.234(6). On the basis of the measured g factor, the {pi}1g{sub 9/2}x{nu}1g{sub 9/2} configuration has been assigned to the 4{sup +} isomeric state. The low-lying states in {sup 84}Y were discussed within the two-quasiparticles plus rotor model. The 4{sup -} isomeric state has been interpreted by the pure {pi}[301]3/2x{nu}[422]5/2 configuration, which reproduces the experimental g factor at a prolate quadrupole deformation of {epsilon}{sub 2}{approx_equal}0.16.
