Beta decay studies of neutron-rich nuclei around N=40

Beta decay studies of neutron-rich nuclei at or around N=40 are presented in the Co, Mn and V isotopic chains aiming to aimig to study excited states in Ni, Fe and Cr isotopes respectively. Examples are taken from experimental studies achieved at Louvain la Neuve, CERN/ISOLDE and GANIL/LISE facilities. Increases in production rates in the last five years has brought a dramatic change in the spectroscopic knowledge in the region of mass when the isospin number is increased. If the spherical N=40 subshell is well-established for 68Ni, its effect is steadily decreased when proceeding towards 64Cr which lies at the mid-distance between Z=20 and Z=28 magic shells
