In near-spherical nuclei, the two most fundamental quadrupole-collective excitations can be understood as a mixture of the collective 2+ proton and 2+ neutron excitations: the fully symmetric 21+ state and the so-called mixed-symmetric 21,ms+ state. Based on the evolution of these states in the N = 80 isotonic chain, it has been suggested that the properties of the mixed-symmetry states are sensitive to the underlying subshell structure. In particular, the observed fragmentation of the 21,ms+ of 138Ce has been explained as due to the absence of a mechanism dubbed shell stabilization. In order to examine further the effect of shell stabilization of the MSSs, it is necessary to identify and study the properties of these states in the next heavy N = 80 isotones beyond Z = 58: 140Nd and 142Sm. This Coulomb excitation experiment was performend at the RIB facility ISOLDE at CERN using the MINIBALL HPGe-array. Preliminary results from the experiment will be shown.
