Intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation has been used to study excited states in the radioactive N=19 nuclei 33Si and 34P, which are neutron-rich spherical nuclei located along the boundary of the “island of inversion.” The present results for the 1010 keV state in 33Si and states up to 2.2 MeV excitation energy in 34P can be understood in terms of 0ħω (nonintruder) configurations. This suggests that the energy differences between 0ħω and 2ħω configurations are large enough in 33Si and 34P that the low-lying 0ħω states are not significantly perturbed.
