It is shown that the aligned neutron-proton pair with angular momentum J=9 and isospin T=0 plays a central role in the low-energy spectroscopy of the N~Z nuclei approaching 100Sn. This observation is made in the context of the spherical shell model on the basis of several realistic two-nucleon interactions. Shell-model results are analyzed in terms of a variety of two-nucleon pairs...

The interest for the investigation of the proton-rich medium mass nuclei exceeds the frontier of nuclear
structure and dynamics. Apart from displaying some rather interesting nuclear structure effects, the
superallowed 0+ → 0+ Fermi β decay of these nuclei is a valuable tool in probing many properties of the
weak interaction. Nuclei at or near the N=Z line are of particular interest as...
