Single-particle level energies form a significant input in nuclear physics calculations where single-particle degrees of freedom are taken into account, including microscopic interacting boson model investigations. The single-particle energies may be treated as input parameters that are fitted to reach an optimal fit to the data. Alternatively, they can be calculated using a mean field potential, or they can be extracted from available experimental data, as is done in the current study. The role of single-particle level energies in the microscopic interacting boson model calculations is discussed with special emphasis on recent double beta decay calculations.

Understanding how particle size and morphology influence ion insertion dynamics is critical for a wide range of electrochemical applications including energy storage and electrochromic smart windows. One strategy to reveal such structure–property relationships is to perform ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of nanoparticles that have been cycled on TEM grid electrodes. One drawback of this approach is that images of some particles are correlated with the electrochemical response of the entire TEM grid electrode. The lack of one-to-one electrochemical-to-structural information complicates interpretation of genuine structure/property relationships. Developing high-throughput ex situ single particle-level analytical techniques that effectively link electrochemical behavior with structural properties could accelerate the discovery of critical structure-property relationships. Here, using Li-ion insertion in WO3 nanorods as a model system, we demonstrate a correlated optically-detected electrochemistry and TEM technique that measures electrochemical behavior of via many particles simultaneously without having to make electrical contacts to single particles on the TEM grid. This correlated optical-TEM approach can link particle structure with electrochemical behavior at the single particle-level. Our measurements revealed significant electrochemical activity heterogeneity among particles. Single particle activity correlated with distinct local mechanical or electrical properties of the amorphous carbon film of the TEM grid, leading to active and inactive particles. The results are significant for correlated electrochemical/TEM imaging studies that aim to reveal structure-property relationships using single particle-level imaging and ensemble-level electrochemistry.

In treating system of bosons localized in a trapping potential, having a macroscopic number N0 of them condensing at the lowest single-particle level v0, Bogoliubov approximation is to replace the creation/annihilation operators [Formula: see text] of the state v0 by [Formula: see text]. We show that this approximation is justified if the inter-particle potential is repulsive in the sense specified. In fact, we show, by using [Formula: see text], that [Formula: see text] is effectively of the order [Formula: see text] under the condition stated.

Self-consistent relativistic mean-field (RMF) calculations with the NL3 parameter set were performed for 171 spherical even-even nuclei with 16≤A≤224 at temperatures in the range 0≤T≤4 MeV . For this sample of nuclei single-particle level densities are determined by analyzing the data obtained for various temperatures. A new shell-correction method is used to evaluate shell effects at all temperatures. The single-particle level density is expressed as function of mass number A and relative isospin I and compared with previous estimates.
