It plays a critical role in understanding the shell evolution in exotic nuclei. However, there are still several puzzles concerning the tensor force and its effects in the nuclear medium. In this paper, we mainly focus on the studies of tensor force in the effective interactions and its effects in finite nuclear systems within the scheme of nuclear density functional theory. In particular, we highlight the recent developments, including the quantitative analysis of tensor effects in the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory by taking the evolution of proton magic shells in the isotopic chains as an example, and the "meta-data" of tensor effects provided by the ab initio relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory by taking the evolution of spin-orbit splitting in the single-particle spectra of neutron drops as an example. Perspectives are focused on the possible strategies for the future developments of nuclear density functional theory.     

Relativistic interpretation of the nature of the nuclear tensor force

The spin-dependent nature of the nuclear tensor force is studied in detail within the relativistic HartreeFock approach. The relativistic formalism for the tensor force is supplemented with an additional Lorentz-invariant tensor formalism in the a-scalar channel, so as to take into account almost fully the nature of the tensor force brought about by the Fock diagrams in realistic nuclei. Specifically, the tensor sum rules are tested for the spin and pseudospin partners with and without nodes, to further understand the nature of the tensor force within the relativistic model. It is shown that the interference between the two components of nucleon spinors causes distinct violations of the tensor sum rules in realistic nuclei, mainly due to the opposite signs on the κ quantities of the upper and lower components, as well as the nodal difference. However, the sum rules can be precisely reproduced if the same radial wave functions are taken for the spin/pseudo-spin partners in addition to neglecting the lower/upper components,revealing clearly the nature of the tensor force.     

Tensor Force Effect on Shape Coexistence of N = 28 Neutron-Rich Isotones

The tensor force effect on potential energy surfaces of the N = 28 neutron-rich isotones is investigated by using the deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach with the T22 interaction. It is found that, without the tensor force, ^40Mg and ^46At have prolate and spherical ground states, respectively. The ground states of ^42Si and ^44S are oblate. The shape coexistence in ^40Mg, ^42Si and ^44S is evident. However, the ground state deformations of these isotones are not changed and the shape coexistence in ^42Si and ^44S vanishes when the tensor force is switched on. Taking ^42Si as an example, the disappearance of the shape coexistence is understood by analyzing the tensor force effect on the shell correction energies.     

Efect of Tensor Force on the Halo Structure of ~(29)Ne and ~(31)Ne

The structure of Ne isotopes has been investigated by using deformed Skyrme–Hartree–Fock(SHF)method and BCS approximation.Especially the efect of tensor force on the halo structure of 29Ne and 31Ne is discussed.To this end,the tensor contributions are considered to the energy density function and the single particle potential in SHF theory.For comparison,four Skyrme interactions are used:SLy5 and SGII without tensor force,and SLy5+T and SGII+T with tensor force.The results indicate that the inclusion of tensor force shows a more pronounced halo structure for31Ne.     

Effect of Tensor Force on the Halo Structure of ^29Ne and ^31Ne

The structure of Ne isotopes has been investigated by using deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock （SHF） method and BCS approximation. Especially the effect of tensor force on the halo structure of 29Ne and 31Ne is discussed. To this end, the tensor contributions are considered to the energy density function and the single particle potential in SHF theory. For comparison, four Skyrme interactions are used： SLy5 and SGII without tensor force, and SLy5＋T and SGII＋ T with tensor force. The results indicate that the inclusion of tensor force shows a more pronounced halo structure for 31Ne.

Topological phase in one-dimensional Rashba wire

We study the possible topological phase in a one-dimensional(1D) quantum wire with an oscillating Rashba spin–orbital coupling in real space. It is shown that there are a pair of particle–hole symmetric gaps forming in the bulk energy band and fractional boundary states residing in the gap when the system has an inversion symmetry. These states are topologically nontrivial and can be characterized by a quantized Berry phase ±π or nonzero Chern number through dimensional extension. When the Rashba spin–orbital coupling varies slowly with time, the system can pump out 2 charges in a pumping cycle because of the spin flip effect. This quantized pumping is protected by topology and is robust against moderate disorders as long as the disorder strength does not exceed the opened energy gap.     

Relativistic symmetries with the trigonometric Poeschl-Teller potential plus Coulomb-like tensor interaction

The Dirac equation is solved to obtain its approximate bound states for a spin-1/2 particle in the presence of trigonometric Poeschl-Teller （tPT） potential including a Coulomb-like tensor interaction with arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number κ using an approximation scheme to substitute the centrifugal terms κ（κ± i 1）r^-2. In view of spin and pseudo-spin （p-spin） symmetries, the relativistic energy eigenvalues and the corresponding two-component wave functions of a particle moving in the field of attractive and repulsive tPT potentials are obtained using the asymptotic iteration method （AIM）. We present numerical results in the absence and presence of tensor coupling A and for various values of spin and p-spin constants and quantum numbers n and κ. The non-relativistic limit is also obtained.     

相对论无规位相近似

讨论了建立在相对论平均场基态的相对论无规位相近似研究中的一致性问题. 研究表明考虑费米海和Dirac海的粒子 空穴激发对核的同位旋标量巨共振的能量有很大的影响. The fully consistent relativistic random phase approximation (RRPA) built on the relativist mean field (RMF) ground state is presented. The fully consistent RRPA requires that the nuclear RMF wave function and the RRPA renormalization are calculated in a same effective Lagrangian. A theoretically complete treatment of the RRPA at the mean field level with no sea approximation must include not only the usual particle hole states, but also the pairs formed from the occupied Fermi states and Dirac states. Effects of inclusion of Dirac sea states in various multipole excitations are investigated. Considerable effects on the isoscalar giant multipole resonances are observed.     

Polarization contributions to the spin dependence of the effective interaction in neutron matter

We calculate the modification of the effective interaction of particles on the Fermi surface due to polarization contributions, with particular attention to spin-dependent forces. In addition to the standard spin-spin, tensor, and spin-orbit forces, spin nonconserving effective interactions are induced by screening in the particle-hole channels. Furthermore, a novel long-wavelength tensor force is generated. We compute the polarization contributions to second order in the low-momentum interaction V(low k) and find that the medium-induced spin-orbit interaction leads to a reduction of the 3P2 pairing gap for neutrons in the interior of neutron stars.     

An investigation of the tensor force effects on the spin-orbit splitting in spherical and very deformed nuclei

A contribution of the tensor force to the phenomenological spin-orbit (SO) potential in the single-particle Hamiltonian is studied for spherical and deformed rare-earth and actinide nuclei. It is found that the deformation dependence of the SO coupling constant, suggested by the second order tensor force contribution, enables to explain the observed single particle (s.p.) states in the second minimum of²³⁷Pu and²³⁹Pu using a SO strength weaker than usually applied. Consequences of the tensor contributions for the stability of theZ=114 superheavy nucleus are studied.     

Mean field with tensor force and shell structure of exotic nuclei

The tensor force is implemented into the mean-field model so that the evolution of nuclear shells can be described for exotic nuclei as well as stable ones. Besides the tensor-force part simulating the meson exchange, the model is an extension of the successful Gogny model. One of the major issues of rare-isotope beam physics is a reduced spin-orbit splitting in neutron-rich exotic nuclei. It will be shown that the effect of the tensor force on this splitting is larger than or about equal to the one due to the neutron skin. We will present predictions for stable and exotic nuclei with comparisons to conventional results and experimental data.     

Nuclear effective interactions and spin excitations

In view of the one-boson-exchange model for the nucleon-nucleon interaction and the Hartree-Fock (HF) interaction, we formulate the effective interactions for particle-hole states in terms of the exchange of the fields which are confined in the nucleus. This theory, as an extension to the nuclear field theory (NFT), takes into account the propagation of the fields which is neglected in NFT. The effective interactions thus obtained reproduce the energies of a sequence of electric giant resonances and the core polarizabilities associated with the resonances. It is found that the coupling constants of the σ- and ω-fields are suppressed for the particle-hole interaction by 60% with respect to the HF interaction. As for the effective interactions involving nucleon spins, we consider the fields coupled to nucleon spins. The effective interactions obtained, essentially different from those in NFT, have a tensor component. We analyse the energies and cross sections for excitation of stretched spin particle-hole states which are the most sensitive to the tensor force. The effective interaction responsible for the stretched spin states is shown to be consistent with that for the magnetic resonances observed in the (p, n) reactions.     

Inclusion of the spin-orbit force in an α-cluster model

A simplified treatment is proposed to take into account the effect of the spin-orbit force within the framework of the conventional α-cluster model for light nuclei. It is very important for a study of the stability of α-cluster structure in light nuclei to include the effect of the spin-orbit force, but it has been considered that its inclusion is not so easy because (0s)⁴ internal states are usually assumed for α-clusters in the model. The proposed method introduces states with [44…431] spatial symmetry by means of an operator which is just equal to a one-body spin-orbit potential. The method is applied to a 3α cluster model for ¹²C.     

Nuclear relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation with weakened pion tensor force

Properties linked to the single-particle energies, as nuclear spectra, spin-orbit splittings and shell gaps are investigated in the framework of the relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation with pseudovector coupling for the πN vertex. The role of an effective mass of pions moving in the nuclear medium and its relationship with the strength of pion tensor force is discussed. A simple method to reduce the contribution of this tensor force that considerably improves the single-particle spectrum of nuclei is proposed.     

Evidence for the importance of the nucleon-nucleon spin-orbit interaction in the inelastic excitation of high spin states in Zr

A microscopic calculation of the inelastic scattering of 61.2 MeV protons to the 6⁺ and 8⁺ states in ⁹⁰Zr has been carried out which includes the central, tensor and spin-orbit parts of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The two-body spin-orbit force is found to play an important role in exciting these high spin states.
