Signatures of shape phase transitions in odd-mass nuclei

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ^{148,150,152,154}Sm; calculated self-consistent RHB triaxial quadrupole binding energy contours in (β, γ) plane, equilibrium deformation parameter for Kπ=0+ bandheads, B(E2) for the two lowest 0+ states. ^{147,149,151,153,155}Sm, ^{147,149,151,153,155}Eu; calculated levels, J, π, excitation energies of low-lying positive- and negative-parity yrast states as functions of neutron number, equilibrium deformation parameter for bandheads for the lowest three positive- and negative-parity bands, B(E2) between the bandheads and the lowest five states, S(p) and S(n). Microscopic framework based on nuclear energy density functional theory and the particle-plus-boson-core coupling scheme. Comparison with experimental data taken from the NNDC-BNL databases.
