Inspired by the recent measurement of the B(E2; 0+2 → 2+1) and B(E0; 0+2 → 0+1) values in 12Be, we give an interpretation of available spectroscopic data on both 12Be and 11Be, using a simple model which contains the essential feature of these two nuclei: the presence of weakly bound neutron(s) in deformed potentials. The agreement of the calculated results with observed data is surprisingly good, including well-known strong E1 transitions in both nuclei.
