Starting from a twisted three α initial configuration, it is found that the linear chain structure is stable when the rotational frequency is within the range of ~2.0-~2.5 MeV. Beyond this range, the final states are not stable against fission. By examining the density distributions and the occupation of single-particle levels, however, these fissions are found to arise from the occupation of unphysical continuum with large angular momenta. To properly remove these unphysical continuum, a damping function for the cranking term is introduced. Eventually, the stable linear chain structure could survive up to the rotational frequency ~3.5 MeV, but the fission still occurs when the rotational frequency approaches ~4.0 MeV.展开更多

The ground states of 12^C and 160 have been calculated and the density distributions demonstrate an equilateral triangle 3α clustering for 12^C and a regular tetrahedron 4α clustering for 16^O The existence of linear nα chain structure of both 12^C and 16^O is revealed at high quadrupole deformation.展开更多

For the past decades, the covariant density functional theory and its extension have been proved to be successful in describing the nuclear ground-states and excited states properties. However, a long-standing problem is its failure to predict magnetic moments. This article reviews the recent progress in the description of the nuclear magnetic moments within the covariant density functional theory. In particular, the magnetic moments of spherical odd-A nuclei with doubly closed shell core plus or minus one nucleon and deformed odd-A nuclei.展开更多

Phys. J. A 48, 62 （2012）] are investigated in the framework of covariant density functional theory with PC-PK1, where the pairing correlations are treated by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer method with a density-independent zerorange force. From the calculated potential energy curves, it is found that two minima always occur, with one having an almost spherical shape and the other exhibiting a large deformed prolate shape. Originating from the ground state and the shape-isomeric state of ^293Lv, the two observed a-decay chains are constructed and the calculated Qα values are found to be in good agreement with the data.展开更多

The relativistic formalism for the tensor force is supplemented with an additional Lorentz-invariant tensor formalism in the a-scalar channel, so as to take into account almost fully the nature of the tensor force brought about by the Fock diagrams in realistic nuclei. Specifically, the tensor sum rules are tested for the spin and pseudospin partners with and without nodes, to further understand the nature of the tensor force within the relativistic model. It is shown that the interference between the two components of nucleon spinors causes distinct violations of the tensor sum rules in realistic nuclei, mainly due to the opposite signs on the κ quantities of the upper and lower components, as well as the nodal difference. However, the sum rules can be precisely reproduced if the same radial wave functions are taken for the spin/pseudo-spin partners in addition to neglecting the lower/upper components,revealing clearly the nature of the tensor force.展开更多

Experimental one- and two-neutron separation energies are reproduced quite well. The traditional BCS calculations always give larger pairing energies than those given by SLAP calculations, particularly for the nuclei near the proton and neutron drip lines. This may be caused because many of the single particle orbits above the Fermi surface are involved in the BCS calculations, but many of them are excluded in the SLAP calculations.展开更多
