Rotational excitations in rare-earth nuclei: A comparative study within three cranking models with different mean fields and treatments of pairing correlations

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ^{164,166,168,170}Er, ^{165,167,169,171}Tm, ^{166,168,170,172}Yb; calculated high-spin levels, J, π, Nilsson configurations, kinematic moment of inertia versus angular frequency plots for the ground-state bands, β and γ deformation parameters, proton and neutron pairing energies, total- and neutron and proton single particle-Routhians, angular momentum alignments, and neutron occupation probabilities using the cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) with Lipkin-Nogami method, the cranking covariant density functional theory (CDFT) with pairing correlations treated by a shell-model-like approach (SLAP), and the cranked shell model based on the Nilsson potential with pairing correlations treated by the particle-number conserving (CSM-PNC) method. Comparison with experimental data.
