Abstract
Self-consistent calculations of the potential-energy surfaces for triaxial quadrupole deformations have been performed for 15 proton-rich cadmium and samarium isotopes. The light Cd isotopes show the expected transition towards spherical nuclei near the doubly magic nucleus. Proton-rich Sm isotopes are strongly deformed whereas a region of γ instability is found around and explained by a shell structure at N=76.
