g-Factors of high-spin isomers in <SUP>194</SUP>Hg and <SUP>196</SUP>Hg

The g-factors of the 10<SUP>+</SUP> isomeric states in <SUP>194</SUP>Hg and <SUP>196</SUP>Hg have been measured using the in beam IPAD method. The results g(<SUP>194</SUP>Hg) = -0.24(4) and g(<SUP>196</SUP>Hg) = -0.18(9) are in agreement with the value expected for an (i<SUB>1</SUB>3/2<SUP>-2</SUP>) neutron satructure and clearly contradict the previous assignment as (h<SUB>11/2</SUB><SUP>-2</SUP>) proton configurations. Cranking model calculations show that the neutron excitation energies in the rotating frame agree satisfactorily with the experimental energies and that the proton excitations are expected &#8776;2 MeV above the experimental yrast line
