Energy levels, B(E2) values and potential energy surface for even-even 170-178Yb isotopes have been calculated using the IBM-1. The predicted energy levels, B(E2) values and intrinsic quadrupole moments Q0 results were reasonably consistent with the experimental data. The contour plot of the potenti...
