Abstract
Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in odd-mass Nb isotopes are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model with configuration mixing. A quantum analysis reveals a Type IQPT (gradual shape-evolution within the intruder configuration) superimposed on a Type II QPT (abrupt crossing of normal and intruder states), thus demonstrating the occurrence of intertwined QPTs. A classical analysis highlights the implications for the single particle motion in the deformed field generated by the even-even Zr cores.
