IBMF and IBFFM Approach to Nuclei in the A≃100 Region

1988

An overview of the calculations in IBFM and IBFFM for nuclei in the A ≃ 100 region is presented. The application to these nuclei with a complex structure including the rapid transition from spherical to deformed nuclear shapes provides a stringent test for the capacities of this theoretical approach. From the result of the studies of the heavy Yttrium isotopes and the N=59 isotones it is concluded that it can account for the basic structure and the phase transition in these nuclei.
