Abstract

K isomers in transuranium nuclei have become a most interesting subject in nuclear structure investigation in many laboratories within the recent twenty years. In this paper an overview on the present day situation will be given. It will focus on the conditions for occuring of this kind of isomers, their decay properties and systematics in their properties as far as experimental data are available.
