NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ^{156,157,158,159,160}Sm, ^159,161Eu, ^{160,161,162,163,164,165,166}Gd, ^{161,163,165,167}Tb, ^{162,163,164,165,166,167,168}Dy, ^167,169Ho, ^{168,169,170,171,172}Er, ^169,171,173Tm, ^{170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178}Yb, ^177,179Lu, ^{176,177,178,179,180,181,182}Hf, ¹⁷⁹Ta, ¹⁸⁰W; analyzed odd-even staggering of binding energies, and moments of inertia of the first 2+ states of even-even nuclei; calculated neutron and proton pairing residual interaction strengths, binding energies, and moments of inertia. Self-consistent Hartree-Fock plus BCS framework, with the implementation of a self-consistent blocking in the case of odd-mass nuclei, using Skyrme SIII parametrization. Comparison with experimental values, and with other theoretical predictions.
