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 …

Within the QQ-model the existence of TDHF solutions is demonstrated that rotate uniformly
about an axis tilted with respect to the principal axes of the quadrupole mean field. These …

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 …

▪ 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
