The projected shell model (PSM) with the deformed single-particle states, generated by the standard Nilsson potential, is applied to study the negative-parity high spin states of nuclei. The nuclear structure quantities like band structure and back-bending in moment of inertia have been calculated with PSM method and are compared with the available experimental data. In addition, the reduced transition probabilities, i.e., B and B, are also obtained for the yrast band of these isotopes for the first time by using PSM wave function. A multi-quasiparticle structure has been predicted for isotopes by the present PSM calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A theoretical study of the structure of some odd mass Rh nuclei in the A ~ 100 mass region is carried out by using the angular momentum projection technique implemented in the projected shell model (PSM). The influence of the high-j orbitals (h11/2 for neutrons and g9/2 for protons) on the structure of 107-113Rh isotopes is investigated in the present case by assuming an axial symmetry in the deformed basis. For these isotopes, the structure of multi-quasi-particle qp bands is studied along the yrast line in detail. Further, the phenomenon of back-bending is also studied theoretically and is found to be in agreement with the experimental data. The reduced transition probabilities, i.e., B(E2) and B(M1) for the yrast band are also obtained from the PSM wave functions for the first time, thereby providing an opportunity for the experimentalists to work for this data.
