Six rotational bands up to energies Ex=24.7 MeV and spins Jpi=(79/2-)
have been identified in 109Sn using the GAMMASPHERE gamma-detector
array. Four of the bands show smoothly decreasing dynamic moments of inertia
at rotational frequencies hv > 0.6 MeV. The bands arise at medium spins
from coupling of a valence d5/2, g7/2 or h11/2
neutron to the deformed 2p2h proton excitation of the Z=50 core 108Sn.
At very high hv these bands show the typical behaviour of smoothly terminating
bands, i.e. a gradual alignment of the angular momenta of the valence particles
and holes corresponding to a transition from high collectivity to noncollective
states.
