Abstract

The Kπ = 1+ intrinsic excitations in deformed rare-earth nuclei are studied in the framework of the random-phase approximation, which excludes the spurious state (zero-energy excitation) related with the rotation of the whole nucleus. We take the Nilsson-plus-pairing, quadrupole and spin-dependent (magnetic dipole or spin-quadrupole) force model. Cranking-model formulae for the moment of inertia and the collective gyromagnetic ratio are derived as the zero-energy limit of the lowest Kπ = 1+ excitation. They are modified from the usual formulae due to the spin-dependent force. The M1 and E2 transitions from the Kπ = 1+ excited states to the ground state of 170Yb are also calculated. The M1 transition strengths are concentrated almost below 6 MeV, while the E2 ones are scattered even up to 12 MeV. Several levels around 12 MeV show rather strong E2 transitions of ΔN = 2 character.
