Adiabatic Selfconsistent Collective Coordinate Method for Large Amplitude Collective Motion in Superconducting Nuclei
An adiabatic approximation to the selfconsistent collective coordinate method
is formulated in order to describe large amplitude collective motions in
superconducting nuclei on the basis of the time-dependent
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations of motion. The basic equations are presented
in a local harmonic form which can be solved in a similar way as the
quasiparticle RPA equations. The formalism guarantees the conservation of
nucleon number expectation values. An extension to the multi-dimensional case
is also discussed
Non-axial Octupole Deformations of N=Z Nuclei in Mass Region
By performing a fully three dimensional Hartree-Fock calculation with use of
the Skyrm forces, we demonstrate possibility of exotic deformations violating
both the reflection and the axial symmetries of N=Z nuclei in
mass region. The \Ytwo tetrahedral shape predicted in excited \Zr arises from a
shell gap at which is enhanced for the tetrahedron deformation.
Softness toward the \Ythree triangular deformation of the oblate state in \Se
is also predicted.Comment: 10 page
Theoretical study of the decay-out spin of superdeformed bands in the Dy and Hg regions
Decay of the superdeformed bands have been studied mainly concentrating upon
the decay-out spin, which is sensitive to the tunneling probability between the
super- and normal-deformed wells. Although the basic features are well
understood by the calculations, it is difficult to precisely reproduce the
decay-out spins in some cases. Comparison of the systematic calculations with
experimental data reveals that values of the calculated decay-out spins scatter
more broadly around the average value in both the 150 and 190
regions, which reflects the variety of calculated tunneling probability in each
band.Comment: 6 pages 4 figures (30 PS files). To appear in Proc. of NS2000

Pairing collectivity in medium-mass neutron-rich nuclei near drip-line
We look for collective excitations originating from the strong surface
pairing in unstable nuclei near the neutron drip-line. The soft dipole
excitation is such a pairing mode as it exhibits a character of
core-vs-dineutron motion. Possibility of the hydrodynamic phonon mode (the
Anderson-Bogoliubov mode) is also discussed.Comment: 9 pages, a talk presented at Collective Motion in Nuclei under

Collective Paths Connecting the Oblate and Prolate Shapes in 68Se and 72Kr Suggested by the Adiabatic Self-Consistent Collective Coordinate Method
By means of the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate method and
the pairing-plus-quadrupole interaction, we have obtained the self-consistent
collective path connecting the oblate and prolate local minima in 68Se and 72Kr
for the first time. The self-consistent collective path is found to run
approximately along the valley connecting the oblate and prolate local minima
in the collective potential energy landscape. This result of calculation
clearly indicates the importance of triaxial deformation dynamics in
oblate-prolate shape coexistence phenomena.Comment: 24 pages including 5 figure
Application of the Adiabatic Selfconsistent-Collective-Coordinate Method to a Solvable Model of Prolate-Oblate Shape Coexistence
The adiabatic selfconsistent collective coordinate method is applied to an
exactly solvable multi-O(4) model which simulates nuclear shape coexistence
phenomena. Collective mass and dynamics of large amplitude collective motions
in this model system are analysed, and it is shown that the method can well
describe the tunneling motions through the barrier between the prolate and
oblate local minima in the collective potential. Emergence of the doublet
pattern is well reproduced.Comment: 25 pages including 9 figure
Quantum Nernst effect in a bismuth single crystal
We report a theoretical calculation explaining the quantum Nernst effect
observed experimentally in a bismuth single crystal. Generalizing the
edge-current picture in two dimensions, we show that the peaks of the Nernst
coefficient survive in three dimensions due to a van Hove singularity. We also
evaluate the phonon-drag effect on the Nernst coefficient numerically. Our
result agrees with the experimental result for a bismuth single crystal.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Proceedings of ISQM-Tokyo '0
