Antimagnetic Rotation Band in Nuclei: A Microscopic Description
arXiv:1105.3622 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.122501
Abstract
Covariant density functional theory and the tilted axis cranking method are used to investigate antimagnetic rotation (AMR) in nuclei for the first time in a fully self-consistent and microscopic way. The experimental spectrum as well as the B(E2) values of the recently observed AMR band in 105Cd are reproduced very well. This gives a further strong hint that AMR is realized in specific bands in nuclei.
