In this contribution I present systematic calculations on the spectroscopy and electromagnetic transition properties of intermediate-mass and heavy nuclei around 100Sn and 208Pb. We employed the large-scale configuration interaction shell model approach with realistic interactions. Those nuclei are the longest isotopic chains that can be studied by the nuclear shell model. I will show that the yrast spectra of Te isotopes show a vibrational-like equally spaced pattern but the few known E2 transitions show rotational-like behaviour. These kinds of abnormal collective behaviors cannot be reproduced by standard collective models and provide excellent background to study the competition of single-particle and various collective degrees of freedom. Moreover, the calculated B(E2) values for neutron-deficient and heavier Te isotopes show contrasting different behaviours along the yrast line, which may be related to the enhanced neutron-proton correlation when approaching N=50. The deviations between theory and experiment concerning the energies and E2 transition properties of low-lying 0+ and 2+ excited states and isomeric states in those nuclei may provide a constraint on our understanding of nuclear deformation and intruder configuration in that region.

We have performed shell model calculations for neutron deficient even 102-108 Sn and odd 103-107 Sn isotopes in sdg7/2h11/2 model space using two different interactions. The first set of interaction is due to Brown et al. and second is due to Hoska et al. The calculations have been performed using doubly magic 100 Sn as core and valence neutrons are distributed over the single particle orbits 1g7/2, 2d5/2, 2d3/2, 3s1/2 and 1h11/2. In more recent experimental work for 101 Sn [I. G. Darby et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.105 (2010) 162502], the g.s. is predicted as 5/2+ with excited 7/2+ at 172 keV. We have also performed another two set of calculations by taking difference in single particle energies of 2d5/2 and 1g7/2 orbitals by 172 keV. The present state-of-the-art shell model calculations predict fair agreement with the experimental data. These calculations serve as a test of nuclear shell model in the region far from stability for unstable Sn isotopes near the doubly magic 100 Sn core.

In the present review, an attempt is made to approach the different facets of the nucleus at low excitation energy from both a microscopic, self-consistent and a collective model approach. Some attention is given on how to relate the two “opposite” approaches to nuclear structure. In a final chapter, we discuss some newly appreciated modes in the nucleus that are specific to the proton and neutron degrees of freedom e.g. the study of intruder states near closed shells and the presence of proton-neutron mixed-symmetry collective motion.

The alpha-decay rates in heavy nuclei are analyzed by a method in which the decay rates are factored into one-body widths and spectroscopic factors. It is shown that the discrepancy between the absolute values of the experimental alpha-decay rates and those calculated with the nuclear shell model has mainly resided in the incorrect assessment of the one-body widths and that it can be largely removed by a more direct treatment of the average interaction between the alpha particle and the residual nucleus.

The double Gamow-Teller strength distributions in the lightest double beta-decay candidate 48Ca and its isotope 46Ca were calculated using the nuclear shell model by applying the single Gamow-Teller operator two times sequentially on the ground state of parent nucleus. The nuclear matrix element of the double Gamow- Teller transition from the ground state to the ground state that goes into the double beta decay calculation was shown as a small fraction of the total transition.
