Abstract
Motivated by the observed regularity in the energy spectra and the structure of the shell model wave functions for the levels of and , a few weakly and moderately deformed neutron-rich odd- nuclei above the doubly magic nucleus were studied using the particle rotor model (PRM). The calculated energy spectra and branching ratios agree reasonably well with the most recent experimental data. In a few cases ambiguity in level ordering was resolved and spin-parities were assigned to the levels. Observed octupole correlation in some of these nuclei is discussed in the light of the present results.
