The decay of the 6{sup {minus}} isomer of {sup 164}Tm has been studied by gamma-ray spectroscopy with large-volume high-resolution germanium detectors. Levels in {sup 164}Er belonging to six different bands with {ital K}{sup {pi}}=0{sup +}, 2{sup +}, 0{sup {minus}}, 2{sup {minus}}, 5{sup {minus}}, and 7{sup {minus}} are observed in the 5.1 min {sup 164}Tm decay. Two new levels at 1683.64 and 3302.8 keV and four levels at 1610.5, 1764.1, 1798.8, and 2163.65 keV known from reaction studies in {sup 164}Er are observed to be populated in the decay. The revised decay scheme of the 5.1 min {sup 164}Tm based on the present work shows 17 additional {gamma}-ray transitions including eight new transitions with energies 73.0, 199.5, 486.0, 551.5, 624.6, 737.06, 1139.2, and 1317.6 keV, and nine other {gamma}-ray transitions with energies 178.61, 251.0, 299.8, 347.2, 520.3, 1059.4, 1149.6, 1184.3, and 1499.3 keV, in agreement with the results of reaction studies. The results of the measurements are discussed in the light of the known band structure of {sup 164}Er.
