Projected shell model study of yrast bands in even-even 100–118Pd isotopes

Oblate deformation in neutron-rich Ag118,119

“…But back bending occurs here in either way for 119 Ag as well as 117 Ag. The first backbending of the even-even Pd core in this region originates from the alignment of a pair of g 9/2 protons or a pair of h 11/2 neutrons from TRS [35] and projected shell model (PSM) calculations [39]. Thus, alignment of h 11/2 neutrons can give rise to the backbending in 117,119 Ag because the alignment of a pair of protons should be blocked.…”

Shell Model Study of Nuclei around Mass 100

“…Some phenomenological IBM calculations show that the excitation spectra of the even-even nuclei in the Pd-Ru-Mo mass region can be well approximated by the U(5)-O (6) Hamiltonian of the IBM. Recently, the projected shell model (PSM) was applied to even-even Pd isotopes in this mass region [5]. The PSM calculations well reproduce energy levels of not only the low-lying states, but also the high-spin states.…”

Description of the Deformation Properties of Even-Even 102–106Pd Isotopes

“…The study of these isotopes provides us with an insight into the effect that this might have on the transition from spherical to deformed isotopes [10]. Many experimental and theoretical studies on the structure of energy levels and electromagnetic transition properties of the even-even rare-earth isotopes had been investigated in [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
