Intertwined quantum phase transitions in odd-mass Nb isotopes
A detailed analysis of odd-mass Nb isotopes, in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model with configuration mixing, discloses the effects of an abrupt crossing of states in normal and intruder configurations (Type II QPT), on top of which superimposed a gradual evolution from spherical- to deformed-core shapes within the intruder configuration (Type I QPT). The pronounced presence of both types of QPTs demonstrates, for the first time, the occurrence of intertwined QPTs in odd-mass nuclei.
