Systematic investigation of the high-K isomers and the high-spin rotational bands in the neutron-rich Nd and Sm isotopes by a particle-number conserving method

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ^{152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160}Nd, ^{154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161,162}Sm; calculated neutron pairing energy, two-quasiparticle states of even-even Nd and Sm, moments of inertia for the g.s., one-, and two-quasiparticle Nilsson states and bands, proton and neutron occupation probabilities, moment of inertia plots, angular-momentum alignment contribution for the g.s. bands of even-A Nd and Sm isotopes, and cranked Nilsson levels near the Fermi surface with ¹⁵⁶Sm as a representative example. Cranked shell model with pairing correlations treated by particle-number conserving method. Comparison with experimental data.
