Values of R, the radius of rotation of the rotating cluster, are calculated from the observed values of the energy of the lowest 2+ states of the even isotopes of 48Cd, 50Sn, and 52Te with the assumption that the cluster is α , p2, and α , respectively, R shows a maximum at ≈ N = 58, a minimum at ≈ N = 62, and a second maximum at ≈ N = 70. The increase to the first maximum is interpreted as resulting from the overcrowding of spherons (alphas and tritons) in the mantle (outer layer) of the nuclei, causing the cluster to change from rotating in the mantle to skimming over its surface; the decrease to the minimum results from the addition of three dineutrons to the core, expanding the mantle and permitting the rotating cluster to begin to drop back into it; and the increase to the second maximum results from the overcrowding of the larger mantle surrounding the core containing the semimagic number 14 of neutrons rather than the magic number 8 for N = 50. The decrease after the second maximum results from the further increase in the number of core neutrons to 20, corresponding to the magic number 82. Some additional evidence for the change to an intermediate structure between N = 50 and N = 82 is also discussed.
