Abstract: | Backbending in (at least the first half of) the rare earth nuclei seems to be determined by the alignment of an neutron pair. This is supported by the disappearance of backbending due to the blocking of an level by an odd neutron for example in 165Yb. Contrary to expectations backbending disappears also by adding an odd ,proton to 70166Yb in 71167Lu for this state (but is present if the odd proton is in the level). A theory is presented which explains the odd neutron and the odd proton nuclei. It turns out that the odd proton in 167Lu serves only as a type of catalyst for the alignment of an neutron pair. The odd proton changes the deformation and moves the Fermi surface nearer () or farther away () from the nearest neutron level. In one case one finds backbending and in the other case no backbending in 167Lu. |
