The competition between collective rotation and single-particle behaviour at high spin in 158Er has been investigated with the Eurogam spectrometer. Band terminating states have been observed in three structures at Iπ = 46+, 48− and 49− and specific single-particle configurations are assigned by comparison with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. These special states are found to be related by very simple single particle excitations. These data indicate that an oblate mean field (ϵ ∼ −0.14) is established for a nuclear core plus 12 aligned valence nucleons which is stable against single-particle rearrangements. In the (π, α) = (+, 0) states the collective and weakly collective terminating structures are observed to coexist between 30+ and 46+.
