Abstract: Grosse, Stephens and Diamond stated out, basd on the analysis of the behavior ofbackbending in odd A nuclei, the mechanism of backbending for even-even neighborscan be determined. In fact, however, there exist some difficulties. For instance, it is unable to deter-mine the mechanism of backbending for nuclei Er, Yb and Hf throughsuch an analysis. In this letter, using HFB Cranking model, the aligned angular mo-mentum i(ω) and critical rotation frequency ωc have been calculated with some con-sideration of the blocking effect. Through a comparison between theoretical resultsand experimental data, it can be concluded that the backbending occuring in these nuc-lei is mainly caused by the rotation alignment of a vi13/2 pair, not πh9/2 pair.
