Sumario:Nuclei with few valence particles outside of a doubly-magic core provide valuable information about single-particle energies, nucleon-nucleon e_ective interactions and may give insight into the onset of collectivity. The region around 132Sn draws particular attention because of the unexpected modi_cations of the shell structure and the sudden collective behaviour that arises. The 136Te nucleus, with two protons and two neutrons coupled to the doubly-magic 132Sn (Z=50 and N=82) constitutes an excellent testing ground for the study of these phenomena, and so it is studied in this PhD thesis. One of the best means to study exotic nuclei is through lifetime measurements of excited states since they allow direct and model independent access to electromagnetic transition probabilities, which are key quantities for the study of single-particle configurations, nuclear collectivity, and make it possible to test theoretical models. Thus this PhD thesis investigates the 136Te nucleus through the lifetime measurements of its excited states...
