摘要
The evolution of the octupole shape with rotation in pear-shaped nuclei is a topic of broad interest. Based on the cranking covariant density functional theory in 3D lattice space, a shell-model-like approach is implemented to take into account the pairing correlations, and applied for the interleaved positive- and negative-parity bands in Th-224. The experimental I-omega relations are well reproduced. It is found that the octupole deformation of yrast states in Th-224 rises slightly and then declines with increasing spin. After the band crossing, the octupole deformation suddenly disappears, i.e., a sharp transition from an octupole shape to a nearly spherical shape takes place at high spins. This is explained by the evolution of the coupling strength between the proton i(13/2) and f(7/2) orbitals with spin.
