A reflection on the contrast between the Cooper pairing in iron-based and conventional superconductors

In this Perspective article we review retrospectively the streamline of our work on iron-based superconductors, and reflect on the mechanism of Cooper pairing in conventional and unconventional, such as iron-based superconductors. The main theme of this review is the concept of effective interaction and renormalization group.     

Isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass and symmetry energy in isotopic nuclear reactions

Within an isospin and momentum dependent transport model, the dynamics of isospin particles(nucleons and light clusters) in Fermi-energy heavy-ion collisions are investigated for constraining the isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass and the symmetry energy at subsaturation densities. The impacts of the isoscalar and isovector parts of the momentum dependent interaction on the emissions of isospin particles are explored, i.e., the mass splittings of m_n~*=m_p~* and m_n~* m_p~*(m_n~* m_p~*). The single and double neutron to proton ratios of free nucleons and light particles are thoroughly investigated in the isotopic nuclear reactions of ~(112)Sn+~(112)Sn and ~(124)Sn+~(124)Sn at incident energies of 50 and 120 MeV/nucleon, respectively. It is found that both the effective mass splitting and symmetry energy impact the kinetic energy spectra of the single ratios, in particular at the high energy tail(larger than 20 Me V). The isospin splitting of nucleon effective mass slightly impacts the double ratio spectra at the energy of 50 MeV/nucleon. A soft symmetry energy with stiffness coefficient of γ_s =0.5 is constrained from the experimental data with the Fermi-energy heavy-ion collisions.     

Isospin- and momentum-dependent interaction in isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics

An isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamical model (IQMD) is developed, with the isospin degree of freedom in the momentum-dependent interaction(MDI) included in IQMD, to obtain an isospin- and momentum-dependent interaction (IMDI) in IQMD. We investigate the effect of IMDI on the isospin fractionation ratio and its dynamical mechanism in the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. It is found that the IMDI induces the significant reductions in the isospin fractionation ratio for all of beam energies, impact parameters, neutron--proton ratios and mass number of colliding systems. However, the strong dependence of isospin fractionation ratio on the symmetrical potential is preserved, with the isospin degree of freedom included in the MDI, i.e. the isospin fractionation ratio is still a good probe for extracting the information about the equation of state of isospin asymmetrical nuclear matter.     

中子皮厚度与中子星半径

在相对论平均场理论框架下在拉氏量密度中引入同位旋相关的高阶修正项, 研究了中子皮厚度和中子星半径的关系. 利用有效相互作用PK1得到208Pb的中子皮厚度最小可达0.17 fm, 这与近期Skyrme HF模型得到的结果一致. 随着同位旋相关的高阶修正项系数的变化, 208Pb的中子皮厚度和中子星半径的变化趋势相同. By adding isospin dependent high order correction ferms to existing relativistic mean field models．tlle thickness of neuron．skin in 208Pb and the radius of 1.4 solar mass neutron star are studied．The effecfive interaction PK1 would lead the thickness of neutron-skin to a minimum of 0.17 fm which agrees with the analysis from Skyrme‘HF models． The coupling constants of the isospin dependent high order corection terms tend to change，the thickness of neutron-skin and the radius of neutron stars chan ge simultaneously.     

On the impact of large amplitude pairing fluctuations on nuclear spectra

The influence of large amplitude pairing fluctuations is investigated in the framework of beyond mean field symmetry conserving configuration mixing calculations. In the numerical application the finite range density dependent Gogny force is used. We investigate the nucleus ⁵⁴Cr with particle number and angular momentum projected wave functions considering the axial quadrupole deformation and the pairing gap degree of freedom as generator coordinates. We find that the effects of the pairing fluctuations increase with the excitation energy and the angular momentum. The self-consistency in the determination of the basis states plays an important role.

Differences between pairing and zero-range effective interactions for nuclear binding energies

In this paper, we show that, although the spectroscopic properties of the monopole pairing force and a zero-range delta-function interaction are very similar, their saturation properties are quite different. In particular, the predictions for binding energies when filling up a major shell are radically different past mid-shell. This has significant consequences for understanding the masses and binding energies of long isotopic chains of nuclei that will be accessible with advanced exotic beam facilities.

核介质对介子有效质量的影响

在密度相关的相对论平均场近似下,研究了核介质密度对σ,ω,ρ,π介子有效质量的影响并与线性Walecka模型、非线性Walecka模型及TW模型的计算相比较,结果表明不同模型参数下的介子有效质量的变化不会有太大的差别.在低密度区域内,介子有效质量随核物质密度的增大而减小,而在密度较高时,σ,π介子的有效质量随核物质密度的增大而增大,ω,ρ介子的有效质量随核物质密度的增大其减小趋于平缓.不对称系数α对介子有效质量的影响很小.在TM1参数中σ介子的非线性自相互作用项以及多体耦合项(σπ)²对于π介子有效质量的影响是重要的.

Isospin effects of the Skyrme potential and the momentum dependent interaction at intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

We improve the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamical model by including isospin effects in the Skyrme potential and the momentum dependent interaction to obtain an isospin dependent Skyrme potential and an isospin dependent momentum interaction. We investigate the isospin effects of Skyrme potential and momentum dependent interaction on the isospin fractionation ratio and the dynamical mechanism in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. It is found that the isospin dependent Skyrme potential and the isospin dependent momentum interaction produce some important isospin effects in the isospin fractionation ratio.     

Mass differences and neutron pairing in Ca,Sn and Pb isotopes

Various estimates of the even-odd effect of the mass shell of atomic nuclei are considered.Based on the experimental mass values of the Ca,Sn,and Pb isotopes,the dependence of the energy gap on the neutron number is traced and the relationship of this characteristic to the properties of external neutron subshells is shown.In nuclei with closed proton shells,effects directly related to neutron pairing and effects of nucleon shells are discussed.     

Comparison between different computational schemes for variational calculations in nuclear structure

We compare several iteration methods for angular-momentum- and parity-projected Hartree-Fock calculations. We used the Anderson update, the modified Broyden method, newly introduced in nuclear-structure calculations, and variants of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldhaber-Shanno methods (BFGS). We performed ground-state calculations for ¹⁸C and ⁶Li using the two-body Hamiltonian obtained from the CDBonn-2000 potential via the Lee-Suzuki renormalization method. We found that BFGS methods are superior to both the Anderson update and to the modified Broyden method. In the case of ⁶Li we found that the Anderson update and modified Broyden method do not converge to the angular-momentum- and parity-projected Hartree-Fock minimum. The reason is traced back to the lack of a mechanism that guarantees a decrease of the energy from one iteration to the next and to the fact that these methods guarantee a stationary solution rather than a minimum of the energy.     

Comparison between global phenomenological and microscopic optical potentials for proton as projectile below 100 MeV

For 112 target nuclei （52 elements） with proton as projectile, we calculate the reaction cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions, as well as the X^2 values for 16 kinds of proton optical model potentials： two sets of phenomenological global optical potentials and the microscopic optical potentials proposed by Shen et al for 14 sets of Skyrme force parameters： GSI-6, SBJS, SKM, SGI-Ⅱ, SKa-b, SCOI-Ⅱ. We find that for obtaining the proton microscopic optical potential based on the nuclear matter approach with Skyrme force, SGI, SKa and SKb are the three sets of optimal Skyrme force parameters.

A New Determination of the Lambda-Nucleon Coupling Constants in Relativistic Mean Field Theory

A new determination of the Lambda-nucleon coupling constants in relativistic mean field theory is presented by optimizing both hyperon binding energy and spin-orbit splitting. Hypernuclear single particle spectra with the new coupling constants suggest the good agreement between the calculation and available data. The spin-orbit splitting of hyperon in medium mass hypernuclei is systematically larger than that in light- or heavy-mass hypernuclei. The sensitivity of the Lambda spin-orbit splitting to the omega-Lambda-Lambda tensor coupling term is also explored.     

Correlation between muonic levels and nuclear structure in muonic atoms

A method that deals with the nucleons and the muon unitedly is employed to investigate the muonic lead, with which the correlation between the muon and nucleus can be studied distinctly. A “kink” appears in the muonic isotope shift at a neutron magic number where the nuclear shell structure plays a key role. This behavior may have very important implications for the experimentally probing the shell structure of the nuclei far away from the β-stable line. We investigate the variations of the nuclear structure due to the interaction with the muon in the muonic atom and find that the nuclear structure remains basically unaltered. Therefore, the muon is a clean and reliable probe for studying the nuclear structure. In addition, a correction that the muon-induced slight change in the proton density distribution in turn shifts the muonic levels is investigated. This correction to muonic level is as important as the Lamb shift and high order vacuum polarization correction, but is larger than anomalous magnetic moment and electron shielding correction.

研究和详细地比较了RMF理论中不同的有效相互作用强度的密度依赖性, 并且讨论了这种密度依赖性对于核物质和中子星性质的影响. 对于核物质, 不同的参数组给出的对称核物质的饱和点非常接近, 基本都在经验值的范围内. 对于中子星, 考虑超子后不同参数组给出的质量极限的范围为1.52—2.06 M☉, 半径为10.24—11.38 km.The density dependencies of various effective interaction strengths in the relativistic mean field and their influences on the properties of nuclear matter and neutron stars are studied and carefully compared. The differences of saturation properties given by various effective interactions are subtle in symmetric nuclear matter. The Oppenheimer Volkoff mass limits of neutron stars calculated from different equations of state are 1.52—2.06 M☉, and the radii are 10.24—11.38 km with hyperons included.
