Angular distributions of the tensor analyzing power [ital A][sub [ital z][ital z]] have been measured for ground state transitions in [sup 119]Sn([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 118]Sn and [sup 149]Sm([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 148]Sm and the first excited state (0.263 MeV) in[sup 206]Pb([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 205]Pb for deuteron energies well below the Coulomb barrier. Exact, finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation analyses of these data have been made to establish the asymptotic [ital D]- to [ital S]-state ratio for the triton, [eta][sub [ital t]]. These calculations include a deuteron-nucleus tensor potential determined from the folding model and a long-range tensor potential arising from the Coulomb interaction. Previously obtained [ital A][sub [ital z][ital z]]([theta]) data for the ground state transitions in [sup 95]Mo([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 94]Mo, [sup 119]Sn([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 118]Sn, and [sup 149]Sm([ital [rvec d]],[ital t])[sup 148]Sm at different sub-Coulomb energies have been reanalyzed. Also a careful investigation of possible uncertainties in the value of [eta][sub [ital t]] is presented. A best fit to the data gives [eta][sub [ital t]]=[minus]0.0411[plus minus]0.0013[plus minus]0.0012, somewhat lower than previous experimental determinations.
