Abstract

The high-spin states in transitional odd-mass nuclei are studied in terms of an odd quasi-particle coupled to an asymmetric rotor with a variable moment of inertia (VMI). In order to take into account the VMI, the basis states are expanded in terms of the core eigenfunctions. Excitation energies, quadrupole moments, magnetic moments, B(E2) values and B(M1) values are calculated and compared with the experimental data for nuclei in Au and La regions. On comparison with other descriptions it is found that the treatment with VMI provides a more satisfactory explanation of the data.

    Over decades some respective studies were made by theory or data analysis [13–15]. Early works on odd nuclei [16,17] and on the signature change in odd-odd nuclei [18,19] have dealt with broken axiality. Electromagnetic transitions between non-yrast levels [20–23], regarding the splitting of magnetic strength in heavy nuclei [24] and very recent spectroscopic studies of fission fragments [25,26] indicate broken axial symmetry.

    The division of the nucleon ensemble into valence and collective core is not unique but takes care of the concrete purposes. Thus, the systems of one nucleon [59,85–87] or two nucleons [88] coupled to a symmetric-, or asymmetric-rotor, have been widely used by many authors. The asymmetric rotor has been treated by an extension of the variational moment of inertia (VMI) [95] method, which was successfully applied to the even–even isotopes of 180–186W, 182–192Os and 184–194Pt.
