The magnetic moment of the 21+ and 41+ states in 152Gd have been measured by the transient field technique. Heavy ion beams of 58Ni and 32S were used to Coulomb excite the 21+,02+,41+,22+, and 61+ states in 152Gd. A ratio of g factors, g(41+)/g(21+)=1.10(24) was obtained. This result is consistent with a collective model description and does not support large single particle contributions to the wave function of low-lying states as were found for the isotone 150Sm.
