Abstract

Neutron-deficient Z ≈ N nuclei 84,86Mo have been investigated using pairing-deformation self-consistent cranked shell model calculations up to spin I > 20th. Our calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data, indicating γ-soft triaxial shapes at low rotational frequency and well-deformed triaxial-oblate shapes at high rotational frequency for both nuclei. The shape change is due to the alignments of the g 9/2 protons and g 9/2 neutrons.
