Abstract

Nuclei in the middle of the 1f _7/2 shell are shown to have rotational features. Dynamic electromagnetic moments have been measured for many transitions. The agreement of large-scale shell model calculations with experimental data is in general excellent. A K-value was assigned to various bands, which can be described in the strong-coupling approximation. Evidence of band crossings is given. The proposed description agrees with observed Coulomb energy differences.
