Deformed odd-mass nuclei are ideal examples where the interplay between single-particle and collective degrees of freedom can be studied. Inspired by the recent experimental high-spin data in the odd-proton nuclide 171 Tm, we perform projected shell model(PSM) calculations to investigate structure of the ground band and other bands based on isomeric states. In addi- tion to the usual quadrupole-quadrupole force in the Hamiltonian, we employ the hexadecapole-hexadecapole(HH) interac- tion, in a self-consistent way with the hexadecapole deformation of the deformed basis. It is found that the known experi- mental data can be well described by the PSM calculation. The effect of the HH force on the quasiparticle isomeric states is discussed.
Fragment mass distributions of quasifission induced by 238U on 160, 26Mg, 32S, 35C1, 40Ca and 65Zn targets at several bombarding energies have been calculated with the two-step model. The experimental data are reproduced consistently, and the mechanism of the distribution shape is also analyzed by investigating the different incident channels.
Band structure of the Z=104 nucleus256Rf has been a recent research focus in nuclear physics.We performed projected shell model calculations for this and some other neighboring Rf isotopes.Specifically,we studied rotational properties of these nuclei and showed that variations in dynamic moment of inertia were sensitive to single-particle structures,which may be useful information for locating the anticipated island of stability.Electromagnetic transition properties were also calculated,and measurable quantities were predicted for further experimental test.

The N≈Z nuclei in the mass A^80 region has been researched because of an abundance of nuclear structure phenomena.The projected shell model(PSM)was adopted to investigate the structure of high spin state in proton-rich 74,76,78Kr isotopes including yrast spectra,moment of inertia,electric quadrupole transitions and the behavior of single particle.The calculated results are in good agreement with available data and the shape coexistence in low-spin is also discussed.
Inspired by the recent experimental identification of the new isomer with a half-life of （620±150） ns in the very neutron-rich nucleus 180SZr, we apply the projected shell model with axially-deformed bases to discuss possible shapes near the ground state and the nature of the isomer. The structure of the new isomer is investigated by restricting the calculation to prolate and oblate shapes. It is shown that the isomer can be understood as a K-isomer. Meanwhile, the calculation predicts more low-lying high-K configurations, which may be confirmed by future experiments,
