The concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking is applied to the rotating mean field of
nuclei. The description is based on the tilted-axis cranking model, which takes into account …

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation are exotic rotational phenomena observed in
weakly deformed or near-spherical nuclei, which are respectively interpreted in terms of the …

▪ Abstract This chapter reviews the experimental properties of shears bands. The most
puzzling characteristic of these structures is the emergence of rotational-like behavior while …

The self-consistent tilted axis cranking relativistic mean-field theory based on a point-
coupling interaction has been established and applied to investigate systematically the …

Low-spin shape coexistence in the Hg and Pb isotopes is discussed within the shell
correction approach with the axial, reflection-asymmetric Woods-Saxon model. For neutron …

Excitations of chiral rotation observed in triaxial nuclei and magnetic and/or antimagnetic
rotations (AMR) seen in near-spherical nuclei have attracted a lot of attention. Unlike …

High-spin states in 119Pb and 200Pb have been investigated by in-beam γ-ray
spectroscopy using several different reactions. In addition to an extension of the spherical …

The tilted axis cranking formalism is implemented in relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. It is
used for a microscopic description of magnetic rotation in the framework of covariant density …

In recent years rotational-like sequences of strongly enhanced magnetic dipole (M1)
transitions have been observed in spherical or near-spherical nuclei. Unlike the long-known …

For the first time, the relativistic mean field (RMF) model is applied to the shears band
recently observed in 37 84 Rb. Signals of the appearance of the shears mechanism, such as …
