Deformations and quasiparticle spectra of nuclei in the nobelium region
Yue Shi, J. Dobaczewski, P.T. Greenlees, J. Toivanen, P. Toivanen We have performed self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations for nuclei close to 254No. Self-consistent deformations, including β2,4,6,8 as functions of the rotational frequency, were determined for even-even nuclei 246,248,250Fm, 252,254No, and 256Rf. The quasiparticle spectra for N=151 isotones and Z=99 isotopes were calculated and compared with experimental data and the results of…

Skyrme mean-field study of rotational bands in transfermium isotopes
M. Bender, P. Bonche, T. Duguet, P.-H. Heenen Self-consistent mean field calculations with the SLy4 interaction and a density-dependent pairing force are presented for nuclei in the Nobelium mass region. Predicted quasi-particle spectra are compared with experiment for the heaviest known odd N and odd Z nuclei. Spectra and rotational bands are presented for nuclei…

Properties of nuclei in the nobelium region studied within the covariant, Skyrme, and Gogny energy density functionals
J. Dobaczewski, A.V. Afanasjev, M. Bender, L.M. Robledo, Yue Shi We calculate properties of the ground and excited states of nuclei in the nobelium region for proton and neutron numbers of 92 <= Z <= 104 and 144 <= N <= 156, respectively. We use three different energy-density-functional (EDF) approaches, based on covariant, Skyrme, and…

Pauli effects in uncertainty relations
I.V. Toranzo a c, P. Sánchez-Moreno b c, R.O. Esquivel c d, J.S. Dehesa a c In this Letter we analyze the effect of the spin dimensionality of a physical system in two mathematical formulations of the uncertainty principle: a generalized Heisenberg uncertainty relation valid for all antisymmetric N-fermion wavefunctions, and the Fisher-information-based uncertainty relation…

A Density Functional study of Covalency in the Trihalides of Lutetium and Lawrencium
Ossama Kullie In this work we present a four component relativistic theoretical investigation of the trihalides of lutetium and lawrencium, LuX3, LrX3 (X= F, Cl, Br, I) respectively using density functional theory (DFT) with different density functional and a geometrical optimisation procedure as implemented in DIRAC-package. The results show the trend of bonding from lighter…
