Variational Study Of Some Deformed Odd Mass Chains Of Nuclei In Rare Earth Region

Abstract

Nuclear structure properties like yrast spectra,Back-bending in moment of inertia, band diagrams and reduced transition probabilities have been studied for the odd mass isotopic chains 121-131La and 131-139Pm have been studied within the microscopic quantum mechanical approach-Projected Shell Model. Comparison of the calculated results with the experimentally available data shows the satisfactory agreement newline newline
