Magnetic dipole bands have been identified in 142,143,144Gd and 141Eu nuclei. The observed bands are based on configurations with small oblate deformation involving high-Omega, h11/2 proton particles and low-Omega, h11/2 neutron holes.…

We perform shell model calculations in odd-odd nuclei using a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction and single-particle splittings chosen so as to obtain the SU(3) results. Elliott had shown that such an interaction gives rotational bands for…

The newly developed multi-quasiparticle triaxial projected shell-model approach is employed to study the high-spin band structures in neutron-deficient even-even Ce- and Nd-isotopes. It is observed that gamma-bands are built on each…
We report on an experimental evidence for a new, second tetrahedral band in $^{152}_{\;\;62}$Sm$^{}_{90}$. It was populated via fusion evaporation reaction, $^{150}{\rm Nd}(\alpha, 2n)^{152}$Sm, employing 26 MeV beam of $\alpha$ particles…
It is demonstrated that the Triaxial Projected Shell Model reproduces the energies and transition probabilities of the nucleus 104Ru and the rigid triaxial nucleus 112Ru. An interpretation in terms of band mixing is provided.
