The high-spin structure of In-111 has been investigated with gamma-ray
spectroscopic methods using the Zr-96(F-19,4n) reaction with thin and
backed targets. A comprehensive level scheme has been constructed whi
ch exhibits interesting collective as well as novel single-particle ex
citations. Unambiguous evidence of proton particle-hole excitations is
found for the first time in a Z<50 nucleus in the form of decoupled b
ands involving proton g(7/2)(d(5/2)) and h(11/2) orbitals above the Z=
50 spherical shell gap. The high-spin structure of In-111 also involve
s the recently discovered magnetic rotation mechanism which is manifes
t as high-spin Delta I=1 bands with no signature splitting and large B
(M1) strengths, but only a small associated deformation. [S0556-2813(9
