Oblate-prolate transition in odd-mass light mercury isotopes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anomalous isotope shifts in the chain of light Hg isotopes are investigated by using the Hartree-FockBogoliubov method with the Skyrme SIII, SkI3 and SLy4 forces. The sharp increase in the mean-square radius of the odd mass Hg isotopes is well explained in terms of the transition from an oblate to a prolate shape in the ground state of these isotopes. We discuss the polarization energy of time-odd mean-field terms in relation to the blocked level by the odd neutron. PACS: 21.10.Dr; 21.10.Ft; 21.10.Ma; 21.60.Jz

Shapes of neutron - rich A ≈ 190 odd - odd nuclei
Following from the prediction by Hilton and Mang [1] of “giant backbending” in 180Hf, caused by a collective oblate rotational band crossing the prolate ground-state band, there has been further theoretical investigation of this phenomenon [2–5]. The calculated shape change is understood to be induced by the effects of rotation alignment. It is related to the prediction of a ground-state shape ...
متن کاملThe prolate-oblate shape phase transition in the interacting boson model
The prolate-oblate shape phase transition in the the interacting boson model is revisited by adopting the transitional Hamiltonian with a linear dependence on the control parameter. The analysis of the shape phase transition in both the large-N limit and finite N case shows that the O(6) symmetry is robust as the critical point symmetry of the prolate-oblate shape phase transition.
متن کاملProlate non-collective-A rare shape phase in high spin state proton emitters 141–144Ho and 131–135Eu
Structural transitions in high spin states of deformed odd Z proton emitters Ho and Eu are studied in a theoretical framework using the deformed Nilsson potential and Strutinsky’s prescription combined with statistical theory of hot rotating nuclei. These proton emitters are found to exhibit shape transition to a rare prolate non-collective shape phase in excited high spin state which is caused...
متن کاملComment on "Prolate-oblate band mixing and new bands in 182Hg"
Bindra et al. @1# have recently reported on in-beam g-ray spectroscopic studies of Hg and on the observation of different band structures in this nucleus. In particular, they discuss the position of the well-known prolate band relative to the oblate ground-state band. They identified the 2 member of the prolate band and developed on this basis a discussion of the minimum in the prolate-oblate e...
متن کاملPrediction and possible observation of an oblate shape isomer in 190 W
The small number of oblate-shaped nuclei found in nature, compared with the many prolate nuclei, is a surprising feature of nuclear structure, which seems to be related to the strength of the nuclear spin-orbit interaction [1]. Furthermore, with increasing angular momentum, the collective rotation of an oblate shape, about an axis perpendicular to its axis of symmetry, is disadvantaged relative...
