The g factors of 11/2− isomers in semimagic 109Sn and 111Sn (isomeric lifetimes τ=2.9(3) ns and τ=14.4(7) ns, respectively) were measured by an extension of the Time Differential Perturbed Angular Distribution technique, which uses LaBr3 detectors and the hyperfine fields of a gadolinium host to achieve precise measurements in a new regime of short-lived isomers. The results, g(11/2−;109Sn)=−0.186(8) and g(11/2−;111Sn)=−0.214(4), are significantly lower in magnitude than those of the 11/2− isomers in the heavier isotopes and depart from the value expected for a near pure neutron h11/2 configuration. Broken-symmetry density functional theory calculations applied to the sequence of 11/2− states reproduce the magnitude and location of this deviation. The g(11/2−) values are affected by shape core polarization; the odd 0h11/2 neutron couples to Jπ=2+,4+,6+... configurations in the weakly-deformed effective core, causing a decrease in the g-factor magnitudes.
