We have systematically studied the surface properties, such as symmetry energy, neutron pressure, and symmetry energy curvature coefficient for Ne, Na, Mg, Al, and Si nuclei from the proton to neutron drip-lines. The Coherent Density Fluctuation Model (CDFM) is used to estimate these quantities taking the relativistic mean-field densities as inputs. The Br ¨uckner energy density functional is taken for the nuclear matter binding energy and local density approximation is applied for its conversion to coordinate space. The symmetry energy again decomposed to the volume and surface components within the liquid drop model formalism to the volume and surface parts separately. Before calculating the surface properties of finite nuclei, the calculated bulk properties are compared with the experimental data, whenever available. The NL3* parameter set with the BCS pairing approach in an axially deformed frame-work is used to take care of the pairing correlation when needed. The deformed density is converted to its spherical equivalent with a two Gaussian fitting, which is used as an input for the calculation of weight function in the CDFM approximation. With the help of the symmetry energy for the recently isotopes <sup>29</sup>F, <sup>28</sup>Ne, <sup>29,30</sup>Na and <sup>31,35,36</sup>Mg are considered to be within the island of inversion emphasized [Phys. Lett. B 772, 529 (2017)]. Although we get large symmetric energies corresponding to a few neutron numbers for this isotopic chain as expected, an irregular trend appears for all these considered nuclei. The possible reason behind this abnormal behavior of symmetry energy for these lighter mass nuclei is also included in the discussion, which gives a direction for future analysis.

Over the last few decades the mean field approach using selfconsistentHaretree-Fock (HF) calculations with Skyrme effectiveinteractions have been found very satisfactory in reproducingnuclear properties for both stable and unstable nuclei. They arebased on effective energy-density functional, often formulated interms of effective density-dependent nucleon–nucleon interactions.In the present research, the SkM, SkM*, SI, SIII, SIV, T3, SLy4,Skxs15, Skxs20 and Skxs25 Skyrme parameterizations have beenused within HF method to investigate some static and dynamicnuclear ground state proprieties of 84-108Mo isotopes. In particular,the binding energy, proton, neutron, mass and charge densities andcorresponding root mean square radius, neutron skin thickness andcharge form factor are calculated by using this method with theSkyrme parameterizations mentioned above. The calculated resultsare compared with the available experimental data. Calculationsshow that the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) theory with aboveforce parameters provides a good description on Mo isotopes.

Abstract The radii and tidal deformabilities of neutron stars are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model with different density-dependent behaviors of symmetry energy. To study the effects of symmetry energy on the properties of neutron stars, $\omega$ meson and $\rho$ meson coupling terms are included in a popular RMF Lagrangian, i.e., the TM1 parameter set, which is adopted for the widely used supernova equation of state (EoS) table. The coupling constants relevant to the vector–isovector meson, $\rho$, are refitted by a fixed symmetry energy at subsaturation density and its slope at saturation density, while other coupling constants remain the same as the original ones in TM1 so as to update the supernova EoS table. The radius and mass of maximum neutron stars are not so sensitive to the symmetry energy in these family TM1 parameterizations. However, the radii in the intermediate-mass region are strongly correlated with the slope of symmetry energy. Furthermore, the dimensionless tidal deformabilities of neutron stars are also calculated within the associated Love number, which is related to the quadrupole deformation of the star in a static external tidal field and can be extracted from the observation of a gravitational wave generated by a binary star merger. We find that its value at $1.4 \mathrm{M}_\odot$ has a linear correlation to the slope of symmetry energy, unlike that previously studied. With the latest constraints of tidal deformabilities from the GW170817 event, the slope of symmetry energy at nuclear saturation density should be smaller than $60$ MeV in the family TM1 parameterizations. This fact supports the usage of a lower symmetry energy slope for the updated supernova EoS, which is applicable to simulations of neutron star mergers. Furthermore, an analogous analysis is also done within the family IUFSU parameter sets. It is found that the correlations between the symmetry energy slope with the radius and tidal deformability at $1.4 \mathrm{M}_\odot$ have very similar linear relations in these RMF models.

In the framework of an equation of state (EoS) constructed from a momentum and density-dependent finite-range two-body effective interaction, the quantitative magnitudes of the different symmetry elements of infinite nuclear matter are explored. The parameters of this interaction are determined from well-accepted characteristic constants associated with homogeneous nuclear matter. The symmetry energy coefficient [Formula: see text], its density slope [Formula: see text], the symmetry incompressibility [Formula: see text] as well as the density-dependent incompressibility [Formula: see text] evaluated with this EoS are seen to be in good harmony with those obtained from other diverse perspectives. The higher order symmetry energy coefficients [Formula: see text], etc., are seen to be not very significant in the domain of densities relevant to finite nuclei, but gradually build up at supra-normal densities. The analysis carried out with a Skyrme-inspired energy density functional (EDF) obtained with the same input values for the empirical bulk data associated with nuclear matter yields nearly the same results.

We study in detail the chain of even - even mercury isotopes 190-200Hg using the relativistic point coupling model. A five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian (5DCH) model, with parameters determined by constrained self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) calculations based on the relativistic density-dependent pointcoupling (DD-PC1) energy density functional, and a finite-range pairing interaction is used to calculate the low-energy excitation spectrum and the B(E2) transitions rates of even-even nuclei. The calculations suggest coexisting configurations in 190Hg, increased collectivity in the isotopes 192-198Hg and a more spherical structure in 200Hg.

AbstractThe formation of clusters at sub-saturation densities in nuclear matter can be seen as a result of many-body correlations. Various theoretical models have been developed to take this effect into account, mostly on a phenomenological level using energy density functionals. These models are constructed in such a way that clusters appear solely in dilute matter and dissolve when the density approaches the nuclear saturation density. At higher densities only nucleons survive as quasi-particles and no explicit correlations between the constituents of nuclear matter are considered. The possible description of correlations with cluster degrees of freedom at supra-saturation densities is explored using the example of a quasi-deuteron in a generalized relativistic density functional. The required change in the density dependence of the cluster mass shift, responsible for describing the cluster dissolution in the present model, is derived for nuclear matter at zero temperature.
