Abstract

Accurate particle-number-conserving calculation shows that in a single-j model the yrast-yrare interaction V is always strong and no periodic oscillation of V with the degree of shell filling is found, in contrast to the results obtained by the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation. To understand the behavior of V and bandcrossing frequency ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\omega}}}_{\mathit{c}}$, the spin-alignment, seniority structure, configuration structure, and ``quasiparticle structure'' of the yrast and yrare bands are analyzed in detail. Calculation in a two-j model (high-j intruder orbits plus normal orbits of opposite parity) was also carried out to illustrate schematically that a weak yrast-yrare interaction may occur for certain single-particle level scheme. The coexistence of normal low-j orbits with high-j intruder orbits is indispensible for a sharp backbending observed in some realistic nuclei.
