The neutron-rich N=50 isotones {sup 82}Ge and {sup 84}Se were investigated using intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation on a {sup 197}Au target and inelastic scattering on {sup 9}Be. As typical for intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation with projectile energies exceeding 70 MeV/nucleon, only the first 2{sup +} states were excited in {sup 82}Ge and {sup 84}Se. However, in the inelastic scattering on a {sup 9}Be target, a strong population of the first 4{sup +} state was observed for {sup 84}Se, while there is no indication of a similarly strong excitation of the corresponding state in the neighboring even-even isotone {sup 82}Ge. The results are discussed in the framework of systematics and shell-model calculations using three different effective interactions.
