The level structures of ('94)Ru, ('90)Mo, ('88)Zr, ('89)Mo and ('89)Nb have been studied via the decay of two isomers of ('94)Rh, two of ('90)Tc, two of ('88)Nb, one of ('89)Tc and one of ('89)Mo, respectively. These nuclides were produced via the proton bombardment of isotopically-enriched ('96)Ru and ('92)Mo as well as naturally-occurring Zr. Using gamma and beta spectroscopy techniques, detailed level schemes have been produced. / High-spin states in ('89)Nb, ('88)Zr and ('88)Nb have been studied with in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy techniques. These nuclides were produced with alpha particle-induced reactions on ('89)Y. A neutron-multiplicity experiment was used to identify the nucleus to which several gamma-rays belong. / The systematics of the N = 48 and 47 nuclei, along with theoretical descriptions based on the nuclear shell model, are discussed. Contributions to original knowledge are summarized in Chapter V.
