Mixing of two-quasineutron and two-quasiproton Kπ=6+ configurations in the vicinity of 174Yb

In the framework of the projected shell model, we investigate the competition between the two-quasineutron and two-quasiproton K^π=6⁺ states in the ytterbium isotopes and N =104 isotones adjacent to ¹⁷⁴Yb. The ¹⁷⁴Yb results are compared with the experimental data.The K^π =6⁺ isomer observed in ¹⁷⁴ Yb is assigned as an admixture of the ν7/2^-[514] ν5/2^-[512] and π7/2⁺ [404]π5/2⁺ [402] intrinsic structure, which explains the experimental |g K-g R | value. Similar mixing would appear in ¹⁷⁴ Yb, ¹⁷⁶ Hf,and ¹⁷⁸ W. The low-lying K^π=6⁺ states are also predicted in ^170-178 Yb.     

能量密度泛函中不同对关联处理方式对原子核形变描述影响的探讨

在Skyrme能量密度泛函理论的框架下,研究了不同对关联处理近似,如Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB)、Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Lipkin-Nogami (HFBLN)及在HFBLN基础上考虑粒子数投影,对于原子核势能曲面计算及基态结合能的影响。同时,也研究了不同对力,如体积对力、表面对力及混合对力对结果的影响。研究的对象为典型的双幻核16O,40Ca,100Sn和208Pb,它们的基态为球形;还有典型的形变核48Cr,也研究了相应的Cr和Fe同位素链的结合能,最后讨论了对超重核298Fl的势能面计算。研究发现,对关联基本不改变形变极小点,但是由于对关联能的引入,对结合能会带来几个MeV的修正能量,HFB、HFBLN及投影计算的修正能量逐渐递增。对关联可以改变位能面最小点附近曲线的软度,使得形变较小点变浅,而在HFBLN基础上考虑粒子数投影,又可以让形变极小点变得更加明显。对关联也降低了位垒高度。在相同对关联处理近似下,混合对力与体积对力计算的势能面结果相接近,表面对力带来了更多的对关联能,对关联的效果更加显著。     

稀土区奇A核晕带存在从转动到振动形状演化的直接证据(英文)

原子核的形状演化效应是核结构研究的重要基础问题之一。通常认为,A=160质量区的奇A核位于大形变核区域,它们的激发态能谱将呈现出典型的转动激发特征。然而,基于E-GOS曲线方法,发现随着角动量的增加,该质量区奇A核的晕带具有显著地从转动激发演化成为振动激发的形状演化现象。此外,为深入理解原子核形状演化的微观机制,采用Total-Routhian-Surface（TRS）方法针对稀土区的奇A核进行了理论计算,结果表明,165Yb和157Dy同位素在低激发态时具有稳定的长椭形变,当角动量大于0.50 MeV后,核芯的四极形变显著减小并开始产生三轴形变。The phase transition of nuclei with increasing angular momentum (or spin) and excitation energy is one of the most fundamental topics of nuclear structure research. The odd-N nuclei with A ≈160 are widely considered belonging to the well-deformed region, and their excitation spectra are energetically favored to exhibit the rotational characteristics. In this work, however, the evidence suggesting that the nuclei changes from rotation to vibration along the yrast lines as a function of spin was found. The simple method, named as E-Gamma Over Spin (E-GOS) curves, would be used to discern the evolution from rotational to vibrational structure in nuclei for various spin ranges. Meanwhile, in order to understand the band structure properties of nuclei, theoretical calculations have been performed for the yrast bands of the odd-A rare-earth nuclei within the framework of the total routhian surface (TRS) model. The TRS plots predict that the 165Yb and 157Dy isotopes have large quadrupole shapes at low spin states. At higher rotational frequency (hω~ >0.50 MeV), a clear reduction of the quadrupole deformation is indicated by the present results, and the isotopes become rigid in the γ deformation.     

Energy spreading,equipartition, and chaos in lattices with non-central forces

We numerically study a one-dimensional,nonlinear lattice model which in the linear limit is relevant to the study of bending(flexural)waves.In contrast with the classic one-dimensional mass-spring system,the linear dispersion relation of the considered model has different characteristics in the low frequency limit.By introducing disorder in the masses of the lattice particles,we investigate how different nonlinearities in the potential(cubic,quadratic,and their combination)lead to energy delocalization,equipartition,and chaotic dynamics.We excite the lattice using single site initial momentum excitations corresponding to a strongly localized linear mode and increase the initial energy of excitation.Beyond a certain energy threshold,when the cubic nonlinearity is present,the system is found to reach energy equipartition and total delocalization.On the other hand,when only the quartic nonlinearity is activated,the system remains localized and away from equipartition at least for the energies and evolution times considered here.However,for large enough energies for all types of nonlinearities we observe chaos.This chaotic behavior is combined with energy delocalization when cubic nonlinearities are present,while the appearance of only quadratic nonlinearity leads to energy localization.Our results reveal a rich dynamical behavior and show differences with the relevant Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou model.Our findings pave the way for the study of models relevant to bending(flexural)waves in the presence of nonlinearity and disorder,anticipating different energy transport behaviors.
