Universal trend of the information entropy of a fermion in a mean field
We calculate the information entropy of single-particle states in
position-space and momentum-space for a nucleon in a nucleus, a
particle in a hypernucleus and an electron in an atomic cluster. It
is seen that and obey the same approximate functional form as
functions of the number of particles, ({\rm or}
in all of the above many-body systems in position- and momentum- space
separately. The net information content is a slowly varying
function of of the same form as above. The entropy sum is
invariant to uniform scaling of coordinates and a characteristic of the
single-particle states of a specific system. The order of single-particle
states according to is the same as their classification according to
energy keeping the quantum number constant. The spin-orbit splitting is
reproduced correctly. It is also seen that enhances with
excitation of a fermion in a quantum-mechanical system. Finally, we establish a
relationship of with the energy of the corresponding single-particle
state i.e. . This relation holds for all the
systems under consideration.Comment: 9 pages, latex, 6 figure
Deformed Harmonic Oscillators for Metal Clusters: Analytic Properties and Supershells
The analytic properties of Nilsson's Modified Oscillator (MO), which was
first introduced in nuclear structure, and of the recently introduced, based on
quantum algebraic techniques, 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator
(3-dim q-HO) with Uq(3) > SOq(3) symmetry, which is known to reproduce
correctly in terms of only one parameter the magic numbers of alkali clusters
up to 1500 (the expected limit of validity for theories based on the filling of
electronic shells), are considered. Exact expressions for the total energy of
closed shells are determined and compared among them. Furthermore, the
systematics of the appearance of supershells in the spectra of the two
oscillators is considered, showing that the 3-dim q-HO correctly predicts the
first supershell closure in alkali clusters without use of any extra parameter.Comment: 25 pages LaTeX plus 21 postscript figure
Rotationally Invariant Hamiltonians for Nuclear Spectra Based on Quantum Algebras
The rotational invariance under the usual physical angular momentum of the
SUq(2) Hamiltonian for the description of rotational nuclear spectra is
explicitly proved and a connection of this Hamiltonian to the formalisms of
Amal'sky and Harris is provided. In addition, a new Hamiltonian for rotational
spectra is introduced, based on the construction of irreducible tensor
operators (ITO) under SUq(2) and use of q-deformed tensor products and
q-deformed Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. The rotational invariance of this
SUq(2) ITO Hamiltonian under the usual physical angular momentum is explicitly
proved, a simple closed expression for its energy spectrum (the ``hyperbolic
tangent formula'') is introduced, and its connection to the Harris formalism is
established. Numerical tests in a series of Th isotopes are provided.Comment: 34 pages, LaTe
Unified description of magic numbers of metal clusters in terms of the 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator
Magic numbers predicted by a 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator
with Uq(3)>SOq(3) symmetry are compared to experimental data for atomic
clusters of alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), noble metals (Cu, Ag, Au),
divalent metals (Zn, Cd), and trivalent metals (Al, In), as well as to
theoretical predictions of jellium models, Woods-Saxon and wine bottle
potentials, and to the classification scheme using the 3n+l pseudo quantum
number. In alkali metal clusters and noble metal clusters the 3-dimensional
q-deformed harmonic oscillator correctly predicts all experimentally observed
magic numbers up to 1500 (which is the expected limit of validity for theories
based on the filling of electronic shells), while in addition it gives
satisfactory results for the magic numbers of clusters of divalent metals and
trivalent metals, thus indicating that Uq(3), which is a nonlinear extension of
the U(3) symmetry of the spherical (3-dimensional isotropic) harmonic
oscillator, is a good candidate for being the symmetry of systems of several
metal clusters. The Taylor expansions of angular momentum dependent potentials
approximately producing the same spectrum as the 3-dimensional q-deformed
harmonic oscillator are found to be similar to the Taylor expansions of the
symmetrized Woods-Saxon and wine-bottle symmetrized Woods-Saxon potentials,
which are known to provide successful fits of the Ekardt potentials.Comment: 23 pages including 7 table
Two approximate formulae for the binding energies in Lambda hypernuclei and light nuclei
Two approximate formulae are given for the binding energies in
Lambda-hypernuclei and light nuclei by means of the (reduced) Poeschl-Teller
and the Gaussian central potentials. Those easily programmable formulae combine
the eigenvalues of the transformed Jacobi eigenequation and an application of
the hypervirial theorems.Comment: Accepted for publication in Europhysics Letter
Approximate analytical solutions of the generalized Woods-Saxon potentials including the spin-orbit coupling term and spin symmetry
We study the approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation for the
generalized Woods-Saxon potential with the pseudo-centrifugal term. In the
framework of the spin and pseudospin symmetry concept, the approximately
analytical bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding upper- and
lower-spinor components of the two Dirac particles are obtained, in closed
form, by means of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method which is based on solving the
second-order linear differential equation by reducing it to a generalized
equation of hypergeometric type. The special cases ( s-wave) and the non-relativistic limit can be reached easily
and directly for the generalized and standard Woods-Saxon potentials. Also, the
non-relativistic results are compared with the other works.Comment: 25 page
