Description

The configuration-dependent shell-correction approach with the cranked Nilsson potential is employed for a systematic investigation of the high-spin spectra of the nuclei in the A∝135 (Z=57-61, N=72-78) mass region, where superdeformed bands have been observed. Main attention is paid to the coexistence of intruder νi13/2, superdeformed and terminating bands in the yrast region. Recent developments of the formalism allow the identification of the high-j orbitals in each N-shell, for example, the g9/2 orbitals in the N=4 shell, after the diagonalization of the cranked Nilsson potential. This turns out to be quite important for the understanding of the high collectivity of the observed bands. It is shown that the equilibrium deformation of the superdeformed bands is strongly dependent on the number of the proton holes in the g9/2 orbitals. With increasing neutron number above N=75, the intruder νi13/2 bands are calculated triaxial. Especially for Z=57, but also for higher proton numbers, we calculate some coexistent oblate non-collective states which are yrast for specific spin values at I ≥40ℎ. (orig.)
