Rapid shape changes are observed for neutron-rich nuclei with A around 100. In particular, a sudden onset of ground-state deformation is observed in the Zr and Sr isotopic chains at N = 60: Low-lying states in $N\ensuremath{\le}58$ nuclei are nearly spherical, while those with $N\ensuremath{\ge}60$ ...
