Abstract
In the present work, we have employed the theoretical framework of Triaxial Projected Shell Model (TPSM) to investigate the presence of triaxiality in transitional nuclei of \(^{164{-}174}\)Hf. We have obtained the calculated yrast and \(\gamma \)-bands and compared with the corresponding experimental data. In addition to these, \(\gamma \gamma \)-bands are also predicted. In order to thoroughly understand the structure of yrast and \(\gamma \)-bands, we have kept our focus to study low energy states. The yrast energy ratios, staggering in \(\gamma \)-bands, the phenomenon of back-bending, the reduced electromagnetic transition probabilities and g-factors are calculated using TPSM.
