g factor of the first 2+ state in 164Yb

The g factor of the first excited 2+ state of 164Yb was measured by perturbed gamma-gamma angular correlation in an external static magnetic field of 5.55T. The result g(2+)=0.32(5), extends the systematics for Yb isotopes down to N=94. The behavior of known experimental values of g(2+) vs N for all isotopic chains Ba to Pt is discussed.
