The level structure of /sup 174/Yb has been studied using the /sup 173/Yb(n,..gamma..) reaction with both thermal and 2-keV neutrons. Measurements of ..gamma..-ray energies and intensities were made using Ge(Li) detectors. From these data a neutron separation energy of 7464.8 +- 0.5 keV has been determined for /sup 174/Yb. A level scheme is proposed for /sup 174/Yb which contains 47 excited states, with identified de-excitation modes, below 2.35 MeV. Features of the proposed level scheme include: the K/sup ..pi../=2/sup -/, 0/sup -/, and 3/sup -/ octupole-vibrational bands with band-head energies of 1318, 1710, and 1851 keV, respectively; the ..gamma..-vibrational band at 1634 keV; three excited K/sup ..pi../=0/sup +/ bands with band-head energies of 1487, 1885, and 2100 keV; and, several two-quasiparticle bands with band-head energies in keV (and K/sup ..pi../ assignments) of 1606(3/sup +/), 1624(1/sup +/), 2016(3/sup +/), and 2049(3/sup -/). Configuration assignments for these two-quasiparticle bands are discussed. The available data for the K/sup ..pi../=3/sup +/ band at 1606 keV are not inconsistent with the assumption that it has collective character; and it is suggested that it, together with the lowest-lying 3/sup +/ band in /sup 172/Yb (at 1172 keV), might represent, in the framework of the interacting boson approximation model, examples of g-boson excitations.
