Abstract

The effective force G-0 of Sprung and Banerjee which gives a good representation of properties of spherical nuclei is found to give a good representation for size, binding energy and deformation of light A = 4n nuclei. Density contour plots are highly suggestive of an α-particle type cluster in these nuclei. A bubble configuration is found for ³⁶Ar, which appears to be an α-cluster hole removed from ⁴⁰Ca.

Description of structure and properties of superheavy nuclei
2007, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
Progress in the theoretical description of superheavy nuclei (SHN) during about the last 25 years is reviewed with the main focus on their structure and properties. This quarter of century is the period when the idea of deformed SHN has appeared and has been developed. The availability of these nuclei to experimental synthesis and studies of them were a decisive factor in a revival of interest in the studies of SHN, which resulted in great progress in this field. Due to this, also the present review gives main attention to deformed SHN. Theoretical studies, which are based on both traditional macroscopic–microscopic, and more recently developed purely microscopic, self-consistent approaches are discussed. Results obtained within these approaches are illustrated. These are the results on shell structure, masses, deformations, $α$ -decay energies, rotational properties, fission barriers, $α$ -decay and spontaneous-fission half-lives, and single-particle properties of SHN. The results obtained by different methods are compared with each other and confronted with those obtained in experiment. A chance of existence of exotic configurations, having gross non-uniformities of nucleonic density, expected to occur in nuclei with very large atomic numbers, is addressed.
Bubbles and semi-bubbles as a new kind of superheavy nuclei
2003, Nuclear Physics A
Applying the HFB theory with the effective interaction D1S of Gogny, two kinds of “hyperheavy nuclei” were discovered: true “bubbles” with practically vanishing nuclear density in the central region of the nucleus, and “semi-bubbles” (“unsaturated nuclei”) with a reduced but finite density near the nuclear center. Semi-bubbles are found to be stable with regard to the emission of a neutron or a proton for nucleon numbers A and charge numbers Z in the ranges 292≲A≲750 and 120≲Z≲240, and true bubbles for 750≲A≲920 and 240≲Z≲280, respectively. For a limited number of nuclear species, a third type of hyperheavy nuclei with a finite, strongly reduced, halo-like central density (“internal halo nuclei”) is found. Coexistence of bubble and semi-bubble solutions for given nucleon and charge numbers is frequently obtained, the semi-bubbles being the ground states for A≲780 and Z≲240, and the true bubbles for the heavier nuclear species. The dominant disintegration mode of the semi-bubbles is α-decay and of the true bubbles is fission. The α-lifetimes of semi-bubbles range from several seconds down to ≃10⁻⁶ s, according to a simple semi-phenomenological formula. The fission lifetimes vary strongly as functions of the neutron and proton numbers ranging between years (for semi-bubbles) and microseconds or less (for true bubbles).
On the shell structure of nuclear bubbles
1997, Nuclear Physics A
We investigate the shell structure of spherical nuclear bubbles in simple phenomenological shell model potentials. The bunching is produced by the energy gaps between single-particle states with a different number of radial nodes. The shell correction energies for doubly magic bubbles may be as large as −40 MeV and probably imply a very long lifetime against spontaneous fission. β-stability occurs for ratios of the neutron number N to the proton number Z which differ markably from the β-stability valley of ordinary compact nuclei. The α-decay probability is shown to be very small for proton rich bubbles with a moderately large outer radius. Metastable islands of nuclear bubbles are shown to exist for nucleon numbers in the range A = 450–3000.

Energy levels of A = 21-44 nuclei (VI)
1978, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The experimentally determined properties of the A = 21–44 nuclei are compiled and evaluated, special emphasis being given to nuclear structure.
Separate tables for each of the nuclides reviewed give all available information about the following properties in this order: - excitation energies (E_x),
1. •
  - γ-ray branching ratios,
2. •
  - γ-ray mixing ratios (δ),
3. •
  - lifetimes (τ_m) or widths (Λ),
4. •
  - spin and parity (J^π) and isospin (T) assignments, and
5. •
  - any other data, on single-particle transfer, resonance levels, etc.
The “best” (or adopted) values for E_x, τ_m or Λ, J^π and T are summarized in a master table.
The review of each A-chain concludes with - a discussion of isospin multiplets,
1. •
  - a few remarks about the experimental situation, and
2. •
  - a compilation of references to relevant theoretical papers.
