The triaxiality gives the further understanding of the decay properties of the isomers. The calculation with triaxiality can well explain the measured quadrupole moment of the K^z=7^- isomer in ^130Ce.展开更多

It is found that, in SD and SQ transitions, the RPA correlations associated with the tensor terms shin dramatically the strengths of (Ylσ)λ = l?1 and (Ylσ)λ = 1 modes upward and downward, respectively, and also shift the strengths of (Ylσ)λ = l + 1 modes upward. The coupling between (Yl = λ ? 1σ)λ and (Yl = λ + 1σ)λ modes arising from the tensor correlation is noticeable. The RPA tensor correlations produce strengths of SD and SQ modes, which are distributed in a much wider energy range, and the (Ylσ)λ = l ? 1 modes dominate the high energy part of the strength functions. These energy shifts and coupling effects of different modes can be understood qualitatively by expressing a finite range tensor force in a separable form.展开更多

Within the framework of the triaxial particle-rotor model, the energy spectra and single-particle configurations of 157Yb are investigated. The calculated energy spectra agree well with the experimental data. The newly observed vf7/2 band, and the previously known vi13/2 band in 157Yb, are also discussed by means of Total-Routhian-Surface methods. The structural characters observed in 157Yb provide evidence for the shape coexistence of three distinct shapes: prolate, triaxial and oblate. At higher spins, both the vf7/2 band and the vi13/2 band in 157Yb undergo a shape evolution with sizable alignments occurring.展开更多

The overlaps between these non-orthonormal states form a special matrix coincidental with the one obtained by Rowe and Rosensteel. They proposed a proposition related to the eigenvalue problems of that matrix and dimensions of the associated subspaces. We prove their proposition with the help of the symmetric properties of the six-j symbols. We also derive algebraic expressions for eigen energies as well as conditions for conservation of seniority through the decomposition of the angular momentum.展开更多

Within this method, it may become possible to modify the excitation spectra which are influenced by shape-softness of nuclei, including high-K states. As our first example, this method is adopted to study the collective and multi-quasiparticle excitations of 178Hf~ and the results are in good agreement with the existing experimental data. In addition, as for the dominant structure of non- collective 6+ bands, the conflict between experimental result and the previous PSM calculation is clarified.展开更多

The reduced transition strengths B(GT) and branching ratios of the/3 decays in ^18 N are calculated in the psd and spsdpf shell spaces with the WBT interaction. The calculations in the two different spaces are compared. The psd calculations obtain a better agreement with the observation of the β-delayed neutron emission, which seems to show that the observed properties of ^18 N and ^18 O are mainly produced by one particle being excited from the p-shell to the sd-shell.展开更多
