description

The possible factors responsible for the sudden onset of nuclear deformation in neutron-rich A≅100 nuclei are reviewed from the systematics of subshell occupation numbers for neutron and proton orbitals. The agreement between our results from a Nilsson model with existing selfconsistent HFB calculations strengthens the role of a cumulative neutron-proton interaction, but does not substantiate the conjecture concerning a selective involvement of the πg9/2-νg7/2 spin-orbit-partner orbitals in producing deformation as das suggested in earlier work.
