The g factor of the 2₁⁺ state in ⁷⁰Ge has been remeasured employing the α-transfer reaction to ⁶⁶Zn projectiles in combination with the technique of transient magnetic fields. Ion beams of 180 MeV were provided by the Munich tandem accelerator bombarding a multilayered target which consisted of carbon on thin Gd and Cu layers. The de-excitation γ rays were measured with NaI(Tl) scintillators and a Ge detector in coincidence with forward emitted α particles (from the decay of ⁸Be) being registered in a 0^∘ Si detector. Lifetimes of several excited states were measured using the Doppler-Shift-Attenuation method. In the analysis of the 2₁⁺ precession, requiring corrections for feeding from the 4₁⁺ state, a negative g factor of the 4₁⁺ state has to be assumed. This result would be consistent with a recent g factor measurement on the isotonic ⁶⁸Zn(4₁⁺) [1]: the negative g factor was attributed to a dominant g_9/2 neutron component in the nuclear wave function. The results are interpreted in the framework of large-scale fp shell model calculations.
