Using fusion-evaporation reactions, a gas-filled recoil separator, and recoil-electron and recoil-electron-α
tagging techniques, a new isomeric 1
2
+ state [T1/2 = 45(3) ms] in 201At is identified, and an earlier reported
corresponding state [T1/2 = 273(9) ms] in 199At is confirmed. The 1
2
+ state is suggested to originate from an
intruder π(s1/2)
−1 configuration. In addition, nuclear structure of states below and above this 1
2
+ state are studied
in both nuclei. The isomer decays through a cascade of an E3 transition followed by a mixed M1/E2 transition
to the 9
2
− ground state, and it is interpreted to be fed from nearly spherical 3
2
+ and 5
2
+ states originating from
π(d3/2)
−1 and π(d5/2)
−1 configurations, respectively.
