Interplay between isoscalar and isovector correlations in neutron-rich nuclei
The interplay between isoscalar and isovector correlations in the 1
states in neutron-rich (NZ) even-even nuclei is studied, taking examples
of the nuclei, O and O. The excitation
modes explored are isovector dipole and isoscalar compression dipole modes. The
self-consistent Hartree-Fock plus the random-phase approximation with the
Skyrme interaction, SLy4, is solved in coordinate space so as to take properly
into account the continuum effect. The isovector peak induced by isoscalar
correlation, the isoscalar peak induced by isovector correlation, and the
possible collective states made by both isoscalar and isovector correlations,
("iS-iV pigmy resonance"), are shown. The strong neutron-proton interaction in
nuclei can be responsible for controlling the isospin structure of normal
modes. It is explicitly shown that in the scattering by isoscalar (isovector)
particles on NZ even-even nuclei isovector (isoscalar) strength in
addition to isoscalar (isovector) strength may be populated.Comment: 20 pages,7 figure
Exotic nuclei far from the stability line
The recent availability of radioactive beams has opened up a new era in
nuclear physics. The interactions and structure of exotic nuclei close to the
drip lines have been studied extensively world wide, and it has been revealed
that unstable nuclei, having weakly bound nucleons, exhibit characteristic
features such as a halo structure and a soft dipole excitation. We here review
the developments of the physics of unstable nuclei in the past few decades. The
topics discussed in this Chapter include the halo and skin structures, the
Coulomb breakup, the dineutron correlation, the pair transfer reactions, the
two-nucleon radioactivity, the appearance of new magic numbers, and the pygmy
dipole resonances.Comment: 43 pages, 30 eps figures. chapter in "100 years of subatomic

Evolution of deformations in medium-mass nuclei
Evolution of quadrupole deformations in and shell nuclei with mass
A= 1856 is studied by using deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock (HF) model with
pairing correlations. We point out that the quadrupole deformations of the
nuclei with the isospin T=0 and T=1 show strong mass number dependence as a
clear manifestation of dynamical evolution of deformation in nuclear many-body
systems. The competition between the deformation driving particle-vibration
coupling and the closed shell structure is shown in a systematic study of the
ratios between the proton and neutron deformations in nuclei with
T=T=1. Calculated quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations are compared
with shell model results and available experimental data. A relation between
the skin thickness and the intrinsic Q moments is also discussed.Comment: 26 pages, 8figure
4D STEM: high efficiency phase contrast imaging using a fast pixelated detector
Phase contrast imaging is widely used for imaging beam sensitive and weak phase objects in electron microscopy. In this work we demonstrate the achievement of high efficient phase contrast imaging in STEM using the pnCCD, a fast direct electron pixelated detector, which records the diffraction patterns at every probe position with a speed of 1000 to 4000 frames per second, forming a 4D STEM dataset simultaneously with the incoherent Z-contrast imaging. Ptychographic phase reconstruction has been applied and the obtained complex transmission function reveals the phase of the specimen. The results using GaN and Ti, Nd- doped BiFeO3 show that this imaging mode is especially powerful for imaging light elements in the presence of much heavier elements
Extended Skyrme interaction (II): ground state of nuclei and of nuclear matter
We study the effect of time-odd components of the Skyrme energy density
functionals on the ground state of finite nuclei and in nuclear matter. The
spin-density dependent terms, which have been recently proposed as an extension
of the standard Skyrme interaction, are shown to change the total binding
energy of odd-nuclei by only few tenths of keV, while the time-odd components
of standard Skyrme interactions give an effect that is larger by one order of
magnitude. The HFB-17 mass formula based on a Skyrme parametrization is
adjusted including the new spin-density dependent terms. A comprehensive study
of binding energies in the whole mass table of 2149 nuclei gives a root mean
square (rms) deviation of 0.575 MeV between experimental data and the
calculated results, which is slightly better than the original HFB-17 mass
formula. From the analysis of the spin instabilities of nuclear matter,
restrictions on the parameters governing the spin-density dependent terms are
evaluated. We conclude that with the extended Skyrme interaction, the Landau
parameters and could be tuned with a large flexibility
without changing the ground-state properties in nuclei and in nuclear matter.Comment: 18 pages, 4 tables, 6 figure
Time-dependent approach to many-particle tunneling in one-dimension
Employing the time-dependent approach, we investigate a quantum tunneling
decay of many-particle systems. We apply it to a one-dimensional three-body
problem with a heavy core nucleus and two valence protons. We calculate the
decay width for two-proton emission from the survival probability, which well
obeys the exponential decay-law after a sufficient time. The effect of the
correlation between the two emitted protons is also studied by observing the
time evolution of the two-particle density distribution. It is shown that the
pairing correlation significantly enhances the probability for the simultaneous
diproton decay.Comment: 9 pages, 10 eps figure
