The anomalous rod shape in carbon isotopes has been investigated in theframework of the cranking covariant density functional theory, and twomechanisms to stabilize such a novel shape with respect to the bending motion,extreme spin, and isospin, are simultaneously discussed for the first time in aself-consistent and microscopic way. By adding valence neutrons and rotatingthe system, we have found the mechanism stabilizing the rod shape; i.e., the$\sigma$ orbitals (parallel to the symmetry axis) of the valence neutrons,important for the rod shape, are lowered by the rotation due to the Coriolisterm. The spin and isospin effects enhance the stability of the rod-shapedconfiguration. This provides a strong hint that a rod shape could be realizedin nuclei towards extreme spin and isospin.
