Properties examined are binding energies and effective radii. The novelty of the present work is that, due to the small number of nucleons involved and the subsequently large deformation, an internal collective rotation appears which is inseparable from the usual internal motion even in the ground states of these nuclei, i.e., for such nuclei the adiabatic approximation is not valid. This extra degree of freedom leads to a reduction of binding energies, an increase of effective radii, and an increase of level widths.展开更多

Calculated results show that isomerization of C 5H 2 is likely to occur on the triplet potential energy surface while direct conversions of the singlet C 5H 2 isomers via 1,3 hydrogen migration transition states are extremely difficult dynamically. In such isomerization processes, the hydrogen transfer processes in carbon chains are the rate determining steps. The triplet species except the linear ground state X 3∑ - g are rather less stable than their singlet forms, although the singlet and triplet species have similar geometries.展开更多
