Abstract
The quadrupole moments of highly deformed bands in134,135Nd and131Ce have been determined using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The obtainedQ0 values show no clear dependence on the number of occupiedvi13/2 intruder orbitals. Cranked shell model calculations indicate that the charge-quadrupole moments of the highly deformed bands decrease with increasing spin. The expected increase in deformation induced by thevi13/2 orbital in the two bands of134Nd is attenuated by a rotation-induced shrinking effect driving the nucleus towards smaller deformation.
