No have been identified through
-decay spectroscopy. The
No is the nucleus with the largest neutron number whose spin-parities and single-particle configurations have ever been identified. The neutron 9/2
[615] configuration was assigned to the ground state of
No as well as to the 231.4 keV level in
Fm. This allowed us to establish energy spacings and order of the neutron single-particle orbitals in such heaviest nuclear region. The appearance of the 9/2
[615] ground state at
=157 implies that the order of the neutron orbitals between the
=152 and 162 deformed shell gaps should change considerably with increasing neutron number.

Fm populated via the
decay of
No are studied in detail through
-
coincidence and
fine structure measurements. Spin-parities and neutron configurations of the excited states in
Fm as well as the ground state of
No are definitely identified on the basis of deduced internal conversion coefficients, lifetimes of
transitions, rotational-band energies built on one-quasiparticle states, and hindrance factors of
transitions. It is found that the excitation energy of the 1/2
[620] state in
=151 isotones increases with the atomic number, especially at 
100, while that of the 1/2
[631] state decreases at
=100. Energy systematics of the one-quasiparticle states in the
=151 isotones are discussed in terms of the evolution of nuclear deformation involving the hexadecapole and hexacontatetrapole deformations.
