Simulation Results

This work studies the aggregation of an synthetic ultraviolet absorbent, named 2-hydroxy-4-perfluoroheptanoate-benzophenone (HPFHBP), in the interface between two solvents which can not completely dissolve each other. The aggregation is studied by computer simulations based on a dynamic density functional method and mean-field interactions, which are implemented in the MesoDyn module and Blend module of Material Studios. The simulation results show that the synthetic ultraviolet absorbent diffuse to the interface phase and the concentration in the interface phase is greater than it in the solvents phase.

Functional Methods

We review the notion of symmetry breaking and restoration within the frame of nuclear energy density functional methods. We focus on key differences between wave-function- and energy-functional-based methods. In particular, we point to difficulties to formulate the restoration of symmetries within the energy functional framework.

The interactions of 48Ca spherical nucleus are considered with the deformed targets 224Ra and 244Pu to form the super heavy elements 272Hs and 292114 (292Fl), respectively. The double folding model with effective density dependent M3Y-NN force, and the energy density functional method based on Skyrme force are used to derive the nucleus–nucleus interaction. The effect of deformation and orientation on the Coulomb barrier parameters is studied, and the results are compared with the corresponding quantities derived from a simple model based on the proximity approach for the nuclear part and simple analytical formula for the Coulomb interaction. Consistent behavior of the results is obtained at certain ranges for deformation parameters and orientations.

Structure Properties

At the present study we employ a variational method, in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, to study the effect of the symmetry energy on several isovector properties of various neutron rich nuclei. The motivation of the present work is twofold. Firstly we tried to construct a self-consistent and easily applicable density functional method to study the effect of the symmetry energy on the isovector structure properties of medium and heavy neutron rich nuclei. Secondly, our aim is, if it is possible, to combine our theoretical estimation with the relevant experimental or empirical data in order to suggest constraints on the density dependence of the symmetry energy for densities close to those of the interior of finite nuclei. According to the results, we confirm the strong dependence of the symmetry energy on the various isovector properties for the relevant nuclei, using possible constraints between the slope and the value of the symmetry energy at the saturation density.
