Abstract:
The present work aims at the structural investigation of the
\gamma- levels in
\nu h_11/2 band of
101Pd, and its comparison with the neighboring Pd-isotopes. Theoretical investigations performed in the vicinity of Pd-isotopes
i.e., around
N\!=\!Z\!=\!50 shell closures have described the systematic well, indicating an evolution of shape alongwith involvement of triaxiality. The deformation studies in the vicinity of Pd-isotopes around shell closures have predicted the shape change from small deformation to more deformed prolate shapes. The comparison of Total Routhian Surface (TRS) calculations performed in the present work have also suggested the inclusion of small amount of triaxiality as a function of increasing rotational frequency and neutron number, pointing towrads the
\gamma- softness present in the nuclei.
