Abstract

The deformation driving vi13/2 [660]1/2 structure has been identified for the first time in 131Nd. It is the lightest Nd (Z=60) isotope in which a band based on this intruder orbital has been reported. A crossing between the [411]1/2 band and the [660]1/2 sequence takes place near hℏω≈0.034 MeV with a large interaction strength (|V|max=47 keV). Thus, a smooth transition from the normal to the highly deformed minimum is established in 131Nd.
