Abstract

Limitations of the one-dimensional cranking model, especially when applied to high-K bands, are discussed. Two-dimensional cranking is presented as a possible generalization of the cranking model for axially symmetric nuclei. For triaxially deformed nuclei, three-dimensional cranking is needed for a fully general description of the rotational motion. Basic properties of three-dimensional cranking are discussed. It is found that rotation about a non-principal axis is energetically favoured under certain conditions.
