In contrast to the particle-plus-rotor-model, the quadrupole\u2013quadrupole interaction introduced in the particle-rotor-quadrupole-coupling model keeps the rotational symmetry in the collective model framework without approximation. To demonstrate the usability, low-lying level energies, reduced E2 transition probabilities, and ground-state quadrupole moments of 135Ba and 131Xe are fit by the model, of which the results are compared with the experimental data and those of other models. It is shown that the fitting results of the particle-rotor-quadrupole-coupling model to the low-lying level energies, reduced E2 transition probabilities, and ground-state electric quadrupole moments of 135Ba and 131Xe are the best, of which the model parameters of the even-even core are determined by the triaxial rotor model in fitting the low-lying spectra of 134Ba and 130Xe. In comparison with the E(5\/4) model results of 135Ba, it is also shown that the quadrupole\u2013quadrupole interaction of the even-even core with the single particle adopted can indeed reproduce the E(5\/4) critical point behavior. The fitting quality of the reduced E2 transition probabilities among low-lying states by the particle-rotor-quadrupole-coupling model is also noticeably improved. Thus, it can be concluded that the particle-rotor-quadrupole-coupling model is suitable to describe low-lying properties of odd-A nuclei within the transitional region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14122578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,7]],"date-time":"2022-12-07T02:49:35Z","timestamp":1670381375000},"page":"2578","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Particle-Rotor-Quadrupole-Coupling Model for Transitional Odd-A Nuclei"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Aoxue","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China"}]},{"given":"Yingxin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China"}]},{"given":"Ziwei","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5118-1719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Liaoning Normal University, Dalian 116029, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8320-0651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lianrong","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, School of Science, Huzhou University, Huzhou 313000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bohr, A., and Mottelson, B.R.
