High spin states of 128La have been studied through the fusion-evaporation reaction 118Sn（14N,4n） 128La at a beam energy of 69 MeV. A positive-parity side band with the same configuration as that of the yrast band has been identified. Moreover, it is noted that the energy separation △E（I） = E（I）side-E（I）yrast of all doublet bands reported in odd-odd nuclei in the A～130 mass region exhibit a staggering pattern systematically, and they stagger up at even-spin and stagger down at odd-spin.
Angular-momentum-projected energy surface calculations for A ≈ 110 nuclei indicate three distinct energy minima occurring at different angular-momenta. These correspond to normal, super-, and hy- per-deformed shapes coexisting in one nucleus. 110Pd is studied in detail, with a quantitative prediction on super- and hyper-deformed spectra by the Projected Shell Model calculation. It is found that several other neighboring nuclei in the A-110 mass region, with the neutron number around 64, also exhibit clear super- and hyper-deformation minima in the projected calculation.

High spin states in the odd-odd nucleus 124Cs have been investigated through the fusion-evaporation reaction 116Sn（11B, 3n）l24 Cs with a beam energy of 45 MeV. A new rotational band is established and assigned as the high-k configuration of πg9/2140419/2＋ ⊙vh 11/2[523]7/2-. Some structures linking to this band have also been observed. According to the results of the excitation energy systematics, the lowest level of this band is assigned as 9-, and the 8- isomer bandhead has not been observed. Another isomer with a half life of 6.3 s has also been observed with its new decay paths established, Its excitation energy is raised by 79 keV, but its Iπ is not changed.
