Popis: Odd-mass gadolinium isotopes around $N$ = 90 were populated by the ($p,d$) reaction, utilizing 25-MeV protons, resulting in population of low-spin quasi-neutron states at energies near and below the Fermi surface. Systematics of the single quasi-neutron levels populated are presented. A large excitation energy gap is observed between levels originating from the $2d_{3/2}$, $1h_{11/2}$ and $3s_{1/2}$ spherical parents (above the $N$ = 64 gap), and the $2d_{5/2}$ (below the gap) indicating that the spherical shell model level spacing is maintained at least to moderate deformations.
