A study of particle number fluctuation under BCS theory

Particle number fluctuations in BCS theory are studied with the relativistic mean-field theory and the shell effects of particle number fluctuations are first discovered. By analyzing the relative errors of the particle number fluctuations, we find that the particle number fluctuations are relevant with the odd-even character. We later apply this method to the examination of the new shell structure, showing that N = 184 for the neutron is indeed a new closed shell.

α particle preformation and shell effect for heavy and superheavy nuclei

The α particle preformation factor is extracted within a generalized liquid drop model for Z = 84-92 isotopes and N = 126,128,152,162,176,184 isotones.The calculated results show clearly that the shell effects play a key role in α particle preformation.The closer the proton and neutron numbers are to the magic numbers,the more difficult the formation of the α cluster inside the mother nucleus is.The preformation factors of the isotopes reflect that N = 126 is a magic number for Po,Rn,Ra,and Th isotopes,but for U isotopes the weakening of the influence of the N =126 shell closure is evident.The trend of the factors for N = 126 and N = 128 isotones also support this conclusion.We extend the calculations for N = 152,162,176,184 isotones to explore the magic numbers for heavy and superheavy nuclei,which are probably present near Z = 108 to N = 152,162 isotones and Z = 116 to N = 176,184 isotones.The results also show that another subshell closure may exist after Z = 124 in the superheavy nuclei.This is useful for future experiments.     

Understanding soot particle size evolution in laminar ethylene/air diffusion flames using novel soot coalescence models

Two coalescence models based on different merging mechanisms are introduced. The effects of the soot coalescence process on soot particle diameter predictions are studied using a detailed sectional aerosol dynamic model. The models are applied to a laminar ethylene/air diffusion flame, and comparisons are made with experimental data to validate the models. The implementation of coalescence models significantly improves the agreement of prediction of particle diameters with the experimental data. Sensitivity of the soot prediction to the coalescence parameters is analysed. Finally, an update to the coalescence model based on experimental observations of soot particles in the flame oxidation regions has been introduced to improve its predicting capabilities.     

Shell-model studies of the N=14 and 16 shell closures in neutron-rich nuclei

Shell-model studies on the N =14 and 16 shell closures in neutron-rich Be, C, O and Ne isotopes are presented. We calculate, with the WBT interaction, the excited states in these nuclei. The calculations agree with recent experiment data. Excited energies and B(E2) values are displayed to discuss the shell closures. Our results support the N =16 shell closure in these isotopes, while indicating a disappearance of N =14 shell closure in Be and C isotopes.

Coulomb effects on the formation of proton halo nuclei

This paper makes some qualitative and quantitative analyses about halo formation rules of some mirror nuclei with the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and the Woods--Saxon mean-field model. By analysing two opposite effects of Coulomb interaction on the proton halo formation, it finds that the energy level shift has a larger contribution than that of the Coulomb barrier when the mass number A is small, the hindrance of the Coulomb barrier becomes more obvious with the increase of the mass number A, and the overall effect of the Coulomb interaction almost disappears when A≈39 as its two effects counteract with each other.

Structure analysis of ~(159)Sm and properties of odd-mass neutron-rich nuclei in mass-160 region

Recent fission experiment data provide interesting structure information for neutron-rich nuclei in the mass A ～ 160 region.

RMF理论中Zr同位素链壳结构的形变依赖性

基于球形与轴对称形变的相对论平均场（Relativistic Mean Field, 简称RMF）理论模型, 分别计算了Zr同位素链的基态总能量, 并根据其差值提取了形变修正能后发现, Zr同位素链丰中子区的核具有大的长椭形变, 对应的形变修正能可达到10 MeV。 利用RMF理论计算的基态能量, 在扣除液滴模型计算的结合能后, 得到了Zr同位素链的壳修正能。 通过对壳修正能的分析后发现, 形变使N=50壳效应显著减弱。 特别是在丰中子区, 大形变导致了N=50壳结构的消失。 The total binding energy of nuclei for Zr isotopic chain is calculated by the spherical and axial deformed relativistic mean field(RMF) theory respectively, and the energy contribution due to the deformation(i.e., deformation correction energy) is extracted. It is found that the neutron rich nuclei in the isotopic chain have large prolate deformation, and corresponding deformation correction energy can be up to 10 MeV. The shell correction energy is obtained by the difference between the binding energies calculated by the liquid model and those by the RMF calculations. Detailed analysis indicates that the deformation weakens the shell effect of N=50 remarkably. Especially for the neutron rich nuclei, large deformation leads to disappearance of the N=50 shell structure.

Influence of Shell on Pre-scission Particle Emission of a Doubly Magic Nucleus 208Pb

Using Smoluchowski equation, we study the shell effects on the emission of light particles in the fission process of a doubly magic nucleus ²⁰⁸Pb. Calculated results show that shell has a considerable effect on the neutron emission and that shell effect gradually becomes weak with increasing excitation energy. In addition, a dependence of shell effects in the neutron emission on the angular momentum has been found.

Effects of single particle on shape phase transitions and phase coexistence in odd-even nuclei

A classical analysis of shape phase transitions and phase coexistence in odd-even nuclei has been performed in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model. The results indicate that the effects of a single particle may influence different types of transitions in different ways. Especially, it is revealed that phase coexistence can clearly emerge in the critical region and thus be taken as a indicator of the shape phase transitions in odd-even nuclei.
