The dependence of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) on the interaction between electrons and a nucleus of finite size is theoretically analyzed. A deviation of the ratio of the NQCCs obtained from two different isotopomers of a molecule from the ratio of the corresponding bare nuclear electric quadrupole moments, known as quadrupole anomaly, is interpreted in terms of the logarit...

Nuclear processes involving momenta much below the mass of the pion may be described by an effective field theory in which the pions do not appear as explicit degrees of freedom. The effects of the pion and all other virtual hadrons are reproduced by the coefficients of gauge-invariant local operators involving the nucleon field. Nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shift data constrains many of th...

Excitation energies for 2l23l8 hole-particle states of Ne-like ions are determined to second order in relativistic many-body perturbation theory ~MBPT!. Reduced matrix elements, line strengths, and transition rates are calculated for electric-dipole (E1), magnetic-quadrupole (E2), magnetic-dipole (M1), and magneticquadrupole (M2) transitions in Ne-like ions with nuclear charges ranging from Z51...

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics calculations of the shear viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide along the 313 K isotherm are reported. Three different intermolecular potential models of increasing complexity are considered: a spherically symmetric Lennard-Jones potential, a two-site Lennard-Jones potential, and a three-site potential which includes a quadrupole-quadrupole moment. Results ...

In this letter we dynamically determine the quadrupole mass moment Q of the magnetic white dwarf WD 0137-349 by analyzing the period of the recently discovered brown dwarf moving around it in a close 2-hr orbit. It turns out that a purely Newtonian model for the orbit of WD 0137-349B, assumed circular and equatorial, is adequate, given the present-day accuracy in knowing the orbital parameters ...

We present results for electronic momentum distribution n(k) of deformed sodium clusters in the framework of the Kohn-Sham formalism. We discuss properties of both spheroidal clusters and fission configurations. For spheroidal clusters we have analyzed properties of total and single-particle electronic momentum distribution. The results show that deformation has more of an effect on the latter,...

The electric quadrupole moments of the decuplet baryons are calculated in the bound state approach to the SU(3) Skyrme model. In this approach, all the quadrupole moments of the decuplets are found to be proportional to the third component of the baryon isospin. Contrary to the SU(3) collective model, the kaonic contribution is as important as the pionic one. The transitional quadrupole moments...
