Quadrupole collective properties of three nuclei, /sup 72/Ge, /sup 110/Pd and /sup 168/Er have been studied by Coulomb excitation using heavy-ion beams such as /sup 16/O, /sup 40/Ca, /sup 58/Ni, and /sup 208/Pb. Deexcitation gamma rays in coincident with both the scattered projectiles and recoiling target nuclei were detected over a wide range of scattering angles, to measure the Coulomb excitation cross-sections. The Coulomb excitation code GOSIA was used to extract the E2 matrix elements in a model-independent way. Almost a complete set of E2 matrix elements for low-lying levels has been measured for the nuclei /sup 72/Ge, /sup 110/Pd, and /sup 168/Er.
