Abstract

A detailed microscopic study of the temperature dependence of the shapes of some rare-earth nuclei is made in the relativistic mean field theory. Analyses of the thermal evolution of the single-particle orbitals and their occupancies leading to the collapse of the deformation are presented. The role of the non-linear σ-field on the shape transition in different nuclei is also investigated; in its absence the shape transition is found to be sharper.
