Total-Routhian-Surface calculations have been performed to investigate the shape evolutions of $Asim80$ nuclei, $^{80-84}$Zr, $^{76-80}$Sr and $^{84,86}$Mo. Shape coexistences of spherical, prolate and oblate deformations have been found in these nuc
lei. Particularly for the nuclei, $^{80}$Sr and $^{82}$Zr, the energy differences between two shape-coexisting states are less than 220 keV. At high spins, the $g_{9/2}$ shell plays an important role for shape evolutions. It has been found that the alignment of the $g_{9/2}$ quasi-particles drives nuclei to be triaxial.
High spin states of 80Rb are studied via the fusion-evaporation reactions 65Cu+19F, 66Zn+18O and 68Zn+16O with the beam energies of 75 MeV, 76 MeV and 80 MeV, respectively. Twenty-three new states with twenty-eight new gamma transitions were added to
the previously proposed level scheme, where the second negative-parity band is significantly pushed up to spins of 22^{-} and 15^{-} and two new sidebands are built on the known first negative-parity band. Two successive band crossings with frequencies 0.51 MeV and 0.61 MeV in the alpha=0 branch as well as another one in the alpha=1 branch of the second negative-parity band are observed for the first time. Signature
High-spin states of 84Sr were populated through the reaction 70Zn(18O, 4n)84Sr at 75 MeV beam energy. Measurement of excitation function, gamma-gamma coincidences, directional correlation of oriented states (DCO) ratios and gamma-transition intensiti
es were performed using eight anticompton HPGe detectors and one planar HPGe detector. Based on the measured results, a new level scheme of 84Sr was established in which 12 new states and nearly 30 new gamma-transitions were identified in the present work. The positive-parity states of the new level scheme were compared with results from calculations in the framework of the projected shell model (PSM). One negative-parity band was extended to spin I=19 and it can be found that in the high-spin states the gamma-transition energies show the nature of signature staggering. The negative-parity band levels are in good agreement with the deformed configuration-mixing shell model (DCM) calculations.
