ABSTRACT

 

In this paper, a method of defining the even-even deformed nuclei inertial parameters is suggested. Calculations for isotopes 162-168Hf and 164-176Yb are listed. The parameters of inertia of rotational nuclei are also defined. Dependence of the parameters of inertia on the nucleons number is shown.

 

Keywords: Collective level; nuclear structure models and methods; properties of nuclei
