Abstract

Quantum phase transitions in even-even nuclei been extensively studied both in theory and experiment in the recent years. Odd-even nuclei can be considered as examples of mixed Bose-Fermi systems with a single fermion coupled to an even-even core. The eÆect of a fermion with angular momentum j on quantum phase transi- tions of a bosonic system comprised of s (L=0) and d (L=2) bosons is investigated.

The analysis is based on an Interacting Boson Fermion Model (IBFM) Hamiltonian and its classical limit and it demostrates the changes in the energy level structure as well as the classical and quantum order parameters involved. Some experimental evidence is also presented and compared with theoretical calculations
