Abstract
It has been stated by BOHR and MOTTELSON that INGLIS’ method for the theoretical determination of moments of inertia of deformed nuclei, in the limit of a great number of non-interacting particles leads to the moment of inertia of rigid rotation. Recently doubts have been raised regarding the general validity of this statement. In the present paper the proof of the assertion is given in detail and its relation to the BOHR-VAN-LEEUWEN theorem is discussed.
