Abstract

Using phenomenological fitting, Sood’s semi-empirical formula have been investigated the rotational structure of even-even rare-earth 170,172Hf nuclei. The calculated rotational energies were compared with their corresponding experimental data. It showed that in 172Hf and 170Hf isotopes, calculated energies fits the experimental values to a remarkable degree of accuracy with deviation less than 3 percent at Jπ = 18+ state and Sood’s semi-empirical formula predicted rotational energies.
