The energies and wave functions of nonrotational states below 2.3 MeV in [sup 166]Er are calculated within the quasiparticle-phonon nuclear model. It is shown that the wave functions have a dominating one-phonon component. The contribution of the two-phonon configurations to the wave function of [ital K][sup [pi]][ne]0[sup +] and 4[sup +] states below 2.3 MeV is less than 6%. The existence of the double-[gamma] vibrational state with [ital K][sup [pi]]=4[sup +] at 2.0-2.2 MeV in [sup 166]Er is predicted. The calculated excitation energies and [ital B]([ital E]2) and [ital B]([ital E]3) values for transitions from the ground state are found to be in agreement with experimental data. Large spectroscopic factors of one-nucleon transfer reactions are explained by the large two-quasiparticle components of the one-phonon terms of the wave functions.
