Abstract

The orientation of the angular momentum in triaxial nuclei has been investigated in a three-dimensional cranked-HFB formalism. Some quasiparticle excitations are found to favour cranking about a non-principal axis for particular combinations of shell filling and triaxial shape. This effect also exists when the energy of the rotating core is added, at least for low spins, which is shown in a complete cranking calculation for ⁸⁴Y.
