Abstract

The nuclear structures of ¹⁶⁵Ho and ¹⁶⁷Er have been investigated by means of Coulomb excitation. These nuclei excited at moderate spins exhibit γ-vibrational bands with K^π = 11^-/2 , 3^-/2 in ¹⁶⁵Ho and K^π = 11⁺/2 in ¹⁶⁷Er. The γ-vibrational bands in ¹⁶⁵Ho are found to be isospectral; having very nearly identical in-band γ-ray energies. Gamma-ray branching ratios are analysed to extract information on collectivity and Coriolis mixing. Experimental results are compared with calculations performed with the Cranked Shell Model + RPA + particle-vibration coupling and by invoking the generalized intensity relations (GIR) in the unified model scheme. Although this model explains many features of the data, puzzling aspects such as identical transition energies for the bands in ¹⁶⁵Ho remain unexplained. The role of the K quantum number in identical bands is discussed.
