contents The $g$ factors of $11/2^-$ isomers in semimagic $^{109}$Sn and $^{111}$Sn (isomeric lifetimes $τ= 2.9(3)$ ns and $τ= 14.4(7)$ ns, respectively) were measured by an extension of the Time Differential Perturbed Angular Distribution technique, which uses \LaBr detectors and the hyperfine fields of a gadolinium host to achieve precise measurements in a new regime of short-lived isomers. The results, $g(11/2^-; {^{109}\textrm{Sn}}) = -0.186(8)$ and $g(11/2^-; {^{111}\textrm{Sn}}) = -0.214(4)$, are significantly lower in magnitude than those of the $11/2^-$ isomers in the heavier isotopes and depart from the value expected for a near pure neutron $h_{11/2}$ configuration. Broken-symmetry density functional theory calculations applied to the sequence of $11/2^-$ states reproduce the magnitude and location of this deviation. The $g(11/2^-)$ values are affected by shape core polarization; the odd $0h_{11/2}$ neutron couples to $J^π=2^+,4^+,6^+...$ configurations in the weakly-deformed effective core, causing a decrease in the $g$-factor magnitudes.

The $g$ factors of $11/2^-$ isomers in semimagic $^{109}$Sn and $^{111}$Sn (isomeric lifetimes $τ= 2.9(3)$ ns and $τ= 14.4(7)$ ns, respectively) were measured by an extension of the Time Differential Perturbed Angular Distribution technique, which uses \LaBr detectors and the hyperfine fields of a gadolinium host to achieve precise measurements in a new regime of short-lived isomers. The results, $g(11/2^-; {^{109}\textrm{Sn}}) = -0.186(8)$ and $g(11/2^-; {^{111}\textrm{Sn}}) = -0.214(4)$, are significantly lower in magnitude than those of the $11/2^-$ isomers in the heavier isotopes and depart from the value expected for a near pure neutron $h_{11/2}$ configuration.
