The yrast states of 160Yb are calculated using the cranked HFB model with particle-number projection and assuming diabatic bands. The energy of each state is minimized with respect to the proton and neutron pairing gap parameters and the deformation parameters ε and γ. The deformation of the ground band is found to increase with increasing spin, i.e. ε gets larger. Simultaneously γ gets slightly n
We derive an expansion of integrals containing a general function multiplied by a Fermi function raised to an arbitrary power v. When v is an integer, direct expressions for the expansion coefficients are given. The expansion is found to converge quite rapidly if the diffuseness of the Fermi distribution is small, and when v ≳ 1.
The spectrum of 28Si is investigated within the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model with all kinds of many-particle-many-hole excitations accounted for. Calculated excitation energies and quadropole moments are compared with experimental data. The recently observed backbend from 8+ to 10+ is suggested to be caused by the crossing of the oblate ground band with a prolate or slightly triaxial band havi
A microscopic analysis of moments of inertia is performed within the cranked Nilsson model. Special emphasis is put on the second-derivative moment of inertia, J(2). Contributions to this from changes of rotational frequency and deformation are separately discussed. A simple expression for the latter is derived and it is for a studied series of Yb isotopes usually found to contribute with less tha
The cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism is applied to the many-faceted spectrum of 16O. The deformation parameters ε{lunate}, γ and ε4 are varied independently and many-particle-many-hole excitations are considered in the rotating system. Potential-energy surfaces are presented at different values of spin, parity and signature. Surprisingly good agreement is obtained when the different minima are
The interplay between angular momentum and particle number (which is the equivalent to the angular momentum in gauge space) is studied. The same technique that is used in the case of rotations in ordinary space can be used in gauge space for investigating the properties of individual quasiparticle levels and the total angular momentum of a nucleus. We study the isotopes of Dy and W, where a back-
A new development within the high spin Nilsson-Strutinsky formalism presented and applied to certain sd-shell nuclei. The previous method of calculating potential-energy surfaces as a function of angular momentum using interpolated spin values is not satisfactory when studying the individual bands for these light nuclei. In the present research, manyparticle many-hole excitations are considered in
The Nilsson model of high-spin states is developed to include particle-hole excitations for rotation around an arbitrary axis. Potential-energy surfaces are calculated with constraints not only on the total spin but also on parity and signature. The method is applied to very light nuclei with A ~ 10. Good agreement for the ground-state bands of 8Be and 12C is obtained and predictions are made for
Nuclear superdeformation is studied theoretically using both simple models and more realistic numerical calculations. From the simple models general rules are formulated about the shell structure of the nucleus at large deformation, its affinity for reflection asymmetric or necked-in distortions and its response to rotation. The numerical calculations are based on realistic single-particle schemes
Collective properties at low and high spin for nuclei with Z ≥ 64 and N ≥ 82 are calculated on the basis o f deformed single-particle potentials. The calculations are confronted with the available experimental data like low-lying octupole bands, rotational bands of transitional nuclei with N ≥ 90 and evidence for collectivity in high-spin single-particle spectra. In the latter collective triaxiali
The Nilsson-Strutinsky approach to the description of yrast properties at very high spins is reviewed. Some recent calculations are presented and discussed with regard to the available experimental data. A nice agreement in the Te-region is pointed out. The aim is however more to describe physical trends than to make detailed predictions for specific nuclei. The general variation of the shell effe
Potential-energy surfaces at high spin are calculated for nuclei in the superheavy region by use of the cranked Nilsson hamiltonian. It is found, that the maximum fission barrier is shifted from the doubly magic 298114 to nuclei with fewer protons and more neutrons, as the spin increases. We also estimate, by use of simple models, the half-lives associated with alpha-decay, gamma-decay and fission
Calculations with the cranking-plus-Strutinsky formalism indicate that some part of the yrast line in almost all the nuclei of the A ∼ 40-80 region may be of non-collective type, corresponding to rotation around a symmetry axis. A numerical study of many such single-particle spectra shows that even at very high spins there is a non-negligible probability for the occurrence of isomers. This conclus
The cranked modified oscillator potential is used to study the nuclei 172-18072Hf at very high angular momenta. All these isotopes are found to "rotate around the prolate symmetry axis" for spin values I= 15-40 h {combining short stroke overlay}. In this region of spin we then look for prolate yrast traps. The pairing interaction with an approximative particle number projection as well as the hexa
The strategic role of communication practitioners has been discussedsince the 1970s. While it might not be surprising that managers andcoworkers view their roles as unclear, it is more surprising that commu-nication practitioners themselves also struggle with explaining theirstrategic roles and the value of their work. To elucidate the strategicwork of communication practitioners, we conducted a s
Civilsamhälleseliter kan definieras som individer med en ledande position i civilsamhällesorganisationer som ansamlar och förfogar över en oproportionerlig stor mängd resurser. På så vis har de bäst förutsättningar att utöva makt och inflytande i samhället
In Sweden, the occurrence of fictional texts in various media formats, including TV series, films, and computer games, most of which are in English, is constantly growing. In an increasingly digitalised society, there is a need for teaching that understands and meets the demand for aesthetic values as well as multimodality and creativity. Highlighting the aesthetic dimension of literary studies, t
This study explores re-creation processes, through transmedia storytelling, that are made visible in the Swedish TV-programme Helt lyriskt (2018), where music artists transmediate Swedish poems into songs. The aim is to analyse, through a close-reading method, two episodes of Helt lyriskt in order to discuss how processes of transmedia storytelling make literary analyses visible and accessible to
The present study focuses on consuming and producing stories using various forms of expression in the third-grade classroom. The aim of the study is to examine pupils’ and teachers’ experiences of working with a teaching unit that encourages the use of various text and media forms through literary productions, re-presentations, of Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter in order to gain increased insight int
