Empirical proton-neutron interactions and nuclear density functional theory: global, regional, and local comparisons.
Calculations of nuclear masses, using nuclear density functional theory, are presented for even-even nuclei spanning the nuclear chart. The resulting binding energy differences can be interpreted in terms of valence proton-neutron interactions. These are compared globally, regionally, and locally with empirical values. Overall, excellent agreement is obtained. Discrepancies highlight neglected ...
متن کاملGlobal features of proton-neutron interactions and symmetry energy
We study global features of proton-neutron (p-n) interactions and symmetry energy over a wide range of nuclei, using a schematic model interaction with four forces proposed recently. Calculations are performed by the BCS approximation in N,Z=20-50 and N,Z=50-82 regions. The experimental double differences of binding energies and symmetry energy are reproduced quite well. It is shown that the is...
متن کاملError Analysis in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is the only microscopic, global approach to the structure of atomic nuclei. It is used in numerous applications, from determining the limits of stability to gaining a deep understanding of the formation of elements in the universe or the mechanisms that power stars and reactors. The predictive power of the theory depends on the amount of physics embedded ...
متن کاملNuclear fission in covariant density functional theory
The current status of the application of covariant density functional theory to microscopic description of nuclear fission with main emphasis on superheavy nuclei (SHN) is reviewed. The softness of SHN in the triaxial plane leads to an emergence of several competing fission pathes in the region of the inner fission barrier in some of these nuclei. The outer fission barriers of SHN are considera...
متن کاملSelf-interaction corrected local-density-functional theory
The ever growing applicative importance of correlated materials, such as e.g. magnetic and superconducting oxides, urgently calls for a realistic and affordable description based on first-principles approaches. In this colloquium we review the formulation of pseudo-self-interaction-corrected local-densityfunctional theory (pSIC), and discuss its relation with comparable methods (LDA+U and hybri...
