Spectroscopy of ¹⁵⁵Yb: Structure evolution in the N=85 isotones

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁴⁴Sm(¹⁶O, 5n), E=118 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(ADO ratios) at cyclotron facility of iThemba LABS. ¹⁵⁵Yb; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, multipolarity, bands, configurations; calculated potential energy contour in (β, γ) plane. Comparison with semiempirical shell-model (SESM) calculations. Predicted coexistence of prolate and oblate shapes from adiabatic and configuration-fixed constrained triaxial covariant density functional theory (CDFT) calculations. Systematics of low-lying levels in N=84-87 isotones: ^{148,149,150,151}Gd, ^{150,151,152,153}Dy, ^{152,153,154,155}Er, ^{154,155,156,157}Yb, ^{156,157,158,159}Hf.
