• Microscopic study of low-lying yrast spectra in 100–108Mo isotopes

Variation-after-projection (VAP) calculations in conjunction with Hartree-Bogoliubov (HB) ansatz have been carried out for A=100−108 molybdenum (Mo) isotopes. In this framework, the yrast spectra with Jmaxπ≥10+, B(E2) transition probabilities, quadrupole (β2) and hexadecapole (β4) deformation parameters, moment of inertia (I) and square of cranking frequency (ω2) for even-even Mo isotopes have been obtained. The results of the calculation give an indication that it is important to include the hexadecapole-hexadecapole component of the two-body interaction for obtaining various nuclear structure quantities in these Mo isotopes.

• A microscopic study of deformation systematics in 154−166Dy isotopes

The Hartree–Bogoliubov (HB) framework of calculations has been applied for calculating various nuclear structure quantities for 154−166Dy mass chains. In this framework, the intrinsic quadrupole moments, the low-lying yrast states ($E_{2}^{+}$ and $E_{4}^{+}$) and occupation numbers for various shell model orbits have been obtained. The calculated results indicate that the observed onset of deformation in going from 154Dy to 166Dy arises due to enhanced occupation of $(h_{11/2})_{\pi}$ orbit, increased polarization of $(d_{5/2})_{\pi}$ orbit and increase in the occupation of down-slopping $`k'$ components of $(i_{13/2})_{v} and$(h_{9/2})_{υ}$orbits. • Microscopic study of low-lying yrast spectra and deformation systematics in neutron-rich 98−106Sr isotopes Variation-after-projection (VAP) calculations in conjunction with Hartree–Bogoliubov (HB) ansatz have been carried out for$A = 98–106$strontium isotopes. In this framework, the yrast spectra with$J^{\Pi} \geq 10^{+}$,$B(E2)$transition probabilities, quadrupole deformation parameter and occupation numbers for various shell model orbits have been obtained. The results of the calculation for yrast spectra give an indication that it is important to include the hexadecapole–hexadecapole component of the two-body interaction for obtaining various nuclear structure quantities in Sr isotopes. Besides this, it is also found that the simultaneous polarization of$p_{3}/2$and$f_{5}/2$proton subshells is a significant factor in making a sizeable contribution to the deformation in neutron-rich Sr isotopes. • Structure of negative parity yrast bands in odd mass 125-131Ce nuclei The negative parity yrast bands of neutron-deficient 125-131Ce nuclei are studied by using the projected shell model approach. Energy levels, transition energies and$B(M1)/B(E2)\$ ratios are calculated and compared with the available experimental data. The calculations reproduce the band-head spins of negative parity yrast bands and indicate the multi-quasiparticle structure for these bands.
