The shell corrections and shell gaps in nuclei are systematically studied with the latest Weizs\"acker-Skyrme (WS4) mass model. We find that most of asymmetric nuclei with (sub)-shell closures locate along the shell stability line (SSL),…
The triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach is generalized to investigate the negative parity band structures in even-even systems. In the earlier version of the TPSM approach, the quasiparticle excitations were restricted to one…
It is argued that there exist natural shell model spaces optimally adapted to the operation of two variants of Elliott' SU3 symmetry that provide accurate predictions of quadrupole moments of deformed states. A selfconsistent Nilsson-like…
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 rotational behaviour of T=0 and T=1 bands in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus 62Ga is studied theoretically using the spherical shell model (laboratory frame) and the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model (intrinsic frame). Both models give a good…
A particle rotor model, which couples nucleons in four single-$j$ shells to a triaxial rotor core, is developed to investigate the five pairs of nearly degenerate doublet bands recently reported in the even-even nucleus $^{136}$Nd. The…

Large-scale shell model calculations were performed for neutron-rich even-even $^{132-136}$Te using a realistic effective interaction derived from CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential for the positive and negative parity states. The calculated…
A systematic study of $\gamma$-bands observed in atomic nuclei is performed using the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach. The staggering phase between the even and odd spin members of the $\gamma$-band for most the nuclei…
The Projected Shell Model is a shell model theory built up over a deformed BCS mean field. Ground state and excited bands in even-even nuclei are obtained through diagonalization of a pairing plus quadrupole Hamiltonian in an angular…
Results of a comprehensive shell model (SM) analyses, within the full $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space, of the recently available experimental data [P. Ruotsalainen et al., Phy. Rec. C {88}, 024320 (2013)] with four $T=0$ bands and one $T=1$…
Quantum phase transitions between competing equilibrium shapes of nuclei with an odd number of nucleons are explored using a microscopic framework of nuclear energy density functionals and a particle-boson core coupling model. The boson…
From the experimental data on odd-even staggering of masses, we have shown that variation of pairing as a function of neutron number plays an important role in many distinctive features like occurrence of new shell closures, shell erosion,…
Rotational structures of even-even $^{148-160}$Nd nuclei are studied with the self-consistent deformed Hartree-Fock (HF) and angular momentum (J) projection model. Spectra of ground band, recently observed $K=4^{-}$, $K=5^{-}$ and a few…

Experimentally observed ground state band based on the $1/2^{-}[521]$ Nilsson state and the first exited band based on the $7/2^{-}[514]$ Nilsson state in the odd-$Z$ nucleus $^{255}$Lr are studied by the cranked shell model (CSM) with the…
Inspired by the recent experimental data (Phys. Lett. B {\bf 675} (2009) 420), we extend the triaxial projected shell model approach to study the $\gamma$-band structure in odd-mass nuclei. As a first application of the new development, the…
Study of the N ~ Z nuclei in the mass-80 region is not only interesting due to the existence of abundant nuclear structure phenomena, but also important in understanding the nucleosynthesis in the rp-process. It is not feasible to apply a…
A simple approximation to shell model is proposed in which the low energy excitation spectra corresponds to the identical nucleons occupying the same single particle states where they preferred to form pairs for the ground states. We call…
