Effects of high order deformation on superheavy high-K isomers
نویسنده
چکیده
Using, for the first time, configuration-constrained potential-energy-surface calculations with the inclusion of β6 deformation, we find remarkable effects of the high order deformation on the high-K isomers in No, the focus of recent spectroscopy experiments on superheavy nuclei. For shapes with multipolarity six, the isomers are more tightly bound and, microscopically, have enhanced deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and Z = 100. The inclusion of β6 deformation significantly improves the description of the very heavy high-K isomers.

Favored configurations for four-quasiparticle K isomerism in the heaviest nuclei
Configuration-constrained potential-energy-surface calculations are performed including β6 deformation to investigate high-K isomeric states in nuclei around 254No and 270Ds, the heaviest nuclei where there have been some observations of two-quasiparticle isomers, while data for four-quasiparticle isomers are scarce. We predict the prevalent occurrence of four-quasiparticle isomeric states in t...
متن کاملHigh-k Structures under Extreme Conditions
High-K isomer decay rates are compared and interpreted, with an emphasis on the spin degree of freedom. It is argued that high-K values do not in themselves lead to K mixing. Rather, evidence is presented that the most important consideration is the isomer energy relative to a rotor whose moment of inertia is approximately 85% of the rigid-body value. The high-spin limit to the occurrence of hi...
متن کاملIsomers and Enhanced Stability of Superheavy Nuclei
Following the early discovery of two-quasiparticle, high-K isomers in Fm (Z =100) and No (Z = 102) by Ghiorso et al. [1], a number of spectroscopic studies were carried out in the Fermium region, which have different sensitivities both in terms of decay branches (e.g. decay, decay, fission, etc.) and lifetime ranges. There has been continuing activity in addressing the complex question of w...
متن کاملEnhanced stability of superheavy nuclei due to high-spin isomerism.
Configuration-constrained calculations of potential-energy surfaces in even-even superheavy nuclei reveal systematically the existence at low excitation energies of multiquasiparticle states with deformed axially symmetric shapes and large angular momenta. These results indicate the prevalence of long-lived, multiquasiparticle isomers. In a quantal system, the ground state is usually more stabl...
متن کاملThe Effect of Deformation Temperature on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Evolutions of High Manganese TWIP Steel
In this study, the effect of tensile test temperature (148 to 673 K) on the microstructural evolutions and the mechanical properties of high manganese twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with the chemical composition of Fe- 31Mn-3Al-3Si (wt. %) was investigated. XRD, SEM and TEM were used to study the microstructural evolutions. Stacking fault energy (SFE) of the alloy was also calculated ...
