TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating high-spin states of nuclei within the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky framework is presented and discussed in some detail, such as shape coexistence, shape changes, band crossings and band terminations.

TL;DR: The collective and non-collective high-spin configurations in selected A ⋍ 80 nuclei are analyzed in detail using a shell-correction approach taking care of individual configurations and the pairing self-consistent cranking method with a non-axially deformed Woods-Saxon potential as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential energy surfaces of a large number of nuclei in the Pt-Hg mass region have been calculated and the deformations of the ground states and of secondary minima in the energy surfaces have been determined for a consistent interpretation of the observed variation of the 2 + energies and of the moments of inertia with the neutron and proton number.

TL;DR: In this article, a general method to ensure that the wave functions develop smoothly when a parameter in the hamiltonian is gradually changing is described, exemplified by calculations of nuclear shape coexistence in 186Pb and high-spin band structure in 165Yb.

TL;DR: In this article, it was investigated how particles in high-N shells affect the moment of inertia and quadrupole moment of superdeformed high-spin states, and the different behaviour of (2) versus the rotational frequency observed for super-deformed states in 152 Dy and 149 Gd is explained in terms of different occupations of a few high-n orbits.
