The interplay between nuclear rotation and the pairing correlations is studied in the single-{ital j} shell model space with {ital j}=13/2. For this study, we employ both the cranking model and the particle-rotor model, the Hamiltonians of which are exactly diagonalized to avoid the ambiguity of the number-nonconserving pair field approximation. The discussions on the merit of the two models show that the particle-rotor model is more reliable than the cranking model. Through the investigations of the spin alignments, the pairing energy gap, and the wave functions, it is shown that the pairing vibrational modes play very important roles. The processes of the collapse of nucleon pairs due to the nuclear rotation are also discussed.
