The high-spin structure of [sup 139]Sm has been investigated with the [sup 110]Pd([sup 34]S,5[ital n]) reaction at a beam energy of 159 MeV at the Stony Brook Tandem/Superconducting LINAC facility. The TESSA3 spectrometer array was used to collect [gamma]-[gamma] coincidence data from which an extended decoupled band structure has been found. It is proposed that this band is based on the [ital i][sub 13/2] ([Omega]=1/2) neutron intruder orbital. The decay pattern, enhanced dynamic moments of inertia, and aligned spins are consistent with the [nu][ital i][sub 13/2] bands in neighboring odd-neutron nuclides. Total Routhian surface and cranked shell model calculations reproduce qualitative features of these nuclides, further supporting the proposed interpretation.
