Tidal wave in 102Pd: Rotating condensate of up to seven d-bosons
The yrast states of even even vibrational and transitional nuclei are inter-
preted as a rotating condensate of interacting d-bosons and the corresponding
semi-classical tidal wave concept. A simple experimental manifestation of the
anharmonicity caused by the boson interaction is found. The interpretation is
substantiated by calculations based on the Collective Model and the Cranking
Model.Comment: Proceedings of CGS1
Spontaneous polarisation of the neutral interface for valence asymmetric coulombic systems
In this paper, we discuss the phenomenon of a spontaneous polarisation of a
neutral hard planar interface for valence asymmetric coulombic systems. Within
a field theoretical description, we account for the existence of non trivial
charge density and electric potential profiles. The analysis of the phenomenon
shows that the effect is related to combinatorics in relation with the
existence of the two independent species cations and anions. This simple and
basic feature is related to the quantum mechanical properties of the system.
The theoretical results are compared with numerical simulations data and are
shown to be in very good agreement, which a fortiori justifies our physical
interpretation.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
Emergence of rotational bands in ab initio no-core configuration interaction calculations of light nuclei
The emergence of rotational bands is observed in no-core configuration
interaction (NCCI) calculations for the odd-mass Be isotopes (7<=A<=13) with
the JISP16 nucleon-nucleon interaction, as evidenced by rotational patterns for
excitation energies, quadrupole moments, and E2 transitions. Yrast and
low-lying excited bands are found. The results demonstrate the possibility of
well-developed rotational structure in NCCI calculations using a realistic
nucleon-nucleon interaction.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures; to be published in Phys. Lett.
Exact diagonalization of the Bohr Hamiltonian for rotational nuclei: Dynamical gamma softness and triaxiality
Detailed quantitative predictions are obtained for phonon and multiphonon
excitations in well-deformed rotor nuclei within the geometric framework, by
exact numerical diagonalization of the Bohr Hamiltonian in an SO(5) basis.
Dynamical gamma deformation is found to significantly influence the predictions
through its coupling to the rotational motion. Basic signatures for the onset
of rigid triaxial deformation are also obtained.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures; to be published Phys. Rev.
