Intra--Galactic thin shell wormhole and its stability
2013
In this paper, we construct an intra-galactic thin shell wormhole joining two copies of identical galactic space times described by the Mannheim-Kazanas de Sitter solution in conformal gravity and study its stability under spherical perturbations. We assume the thin shell material as a Chaplygin gas and discuss in detail the values of the relevant parameters under which the wormhole is stable. We study the stability following the method by Eiroa and we also qualitatively analyze the dynamics through the method of Weierstrass. We find that the wormhole is generally unstable but there is a small interval in radius for which the wormhole is stable.
Band Structures in 96Zr and 98Zr Studied Through the High-Spin Beta Decays of the Y Parents
1988
The isotopes 96Zr and 98Zr are presently subject to intensive studies since their properties play a key role in the understanding of the rapid transition from spherical to deformed nuclear shapes at N ∼ 60. An interesting question is the strength of the subshell closures at Z = 38,40 and N = 56 and to which extent the structure of 96Zr, 98Zr and of their immediate neighbours is influenced by these shell effects. There is evidence, although limited, for closed- shell-or individual-particle character of these nuclei, but more information on the nature of the excited states, especially those with sizeable spins is desired. This is expected to help clarifying the situation with respect to the p…
Self-dressing and radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics
2002
A canonical approach to self-dressing in classical electrodynamics is presented. A slowly moving, rigid charge distribution is assumed to be completely deprived of the transverse electric E⊥ at an initial time t1' and the development of this component of the field is studied for t > t1' by solving the coupled charge-field Hamilton equations of motion. The theory is specialized to charge distributions of spherical symmetry, and in particular the point-charge, the spherical shell of charge and the spherical volume of charge are considered. As for the dynamics of the charge, the radiation-reaction force during self-dressing is obtained and it is shown to be substantially different at short tim…
Assessment of the accuracy of coupled cluster perturbation theory for open-shell systems. I. Triples expansions
2016
The accuracy at which total energies of open-shell atoms and organic radicals may be calculated is assessed for selected coupled cluster perturbative triples expansions, all of which augment the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) energy by a non-iterative correction for the effect of triple excitations. Namely, the second- through sixth-order models of the recently proposed CCSD(T-n) triples series [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 064108 (2014)] are compared to the acclaimed CCSD(T) model for both unrestricted as well as restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (UHF/ROHF) reference determinants. By comparing UHF- and ROHF-based statistical results for a test set of 18 modest-sized open-shell species …
Sodium atoms and clusters on graphite by density functional theory
2004
Sodium atoms and clusters $(Nl~5)$ on graphite (0001) are studied using density functional theory, pseudopotentials and periodic boundary conditions. A single Na atom is observed to bind at a hollow site 2.45 \AA{} above the surface with an adsorption energy of 0.51 eV. The small diffusion barrier of 0.06 eV indicates a flat potential energy surface. Increased Na coverage results in a weak adsorbate-substrate interaction, which is evident in the larger separation from the surface in the cases of ${\mathrm{Na}}_{3},$ ${\mathrm{Na}}_{4},$ ${\mathrm{Na}}_{5},$ and the $(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2)$ Na overlayer. The binding is weak for ${\mathrm{Na}}_{2},$ which has a full valence el…
Systematic study of shell-model effective interaction insdshell
2014
The spin-tensor decomposition method has been used to analyse the shell model effective interactions in sd shell systematically. Almost all the interactions have been studied, including the microscopic interactions and phenomenological ones. It can be noticed that the discrepancies between the central force of microscopic interactions with the ones of empirical interactions are remarkable.
Deformations of quasi-two-dimensional electron gas clusters
1998
Shell effects and Jahn-Teller deformations of quasi-two-dimensional jellium droplets are studied. Utilizing the ultimate jellium assumption, previously successfully used for three-dimensional systems, we calculate unrestricted shape relaxations and binding energies of the ground-state and the lowest isomers, using the methods of density-functional theory in the local spin-density approximation. Strong variations with particle number are found in the shape of the droplets. In particular, for certain magic electron numbers the shapes show triangular or circular symmetry, while for other electron numbers, more complicated symmetries are found. We finally show that from a more simple ``billiard…
Nucleon Pairing and Seniority
2007
Until now we have been dealing with particle and hole aspects of nuclear structure. In this second part of the book we go farther away from a closed major shell. Still near the beginning or end of a major shell we encounter vibrational, spherical open-shell nuclei that cannot be described in terms of a few particles or holes. Farther towards the middle of the shell the spherical shape will give way to permanent deformation signalled by rotational bands analogous to those of diatomic molecules. Microscopic description of such nuclei requires a deformed mean field as the starting point. Deformed nuclei will not be considered in any detail in this book.
Fission Barrier of Superheavy Nuclei and Persistence of Shell Effects at High Spin: Cases ofNo254andTh220
2014
We report on the first measurement of the fission barrier height in a heavy shell-stabilized nucleus. The fission barrier height of No-254 is measured to be B-f = 6.0 +/- 0.5 MeV at spin 15 (h) over bar and, by extrapolation, B-f = 6.6 +/- 0.9 MeV at spin 0 (h) over bar. This information is deduced from the measured distribution of entry points in the excitation energy versus spin plane. The same measurement is performed for Th-220 and only a lower limit of the fission barrier height can be determined: B-f (I) > 8 MeV. Comparisons with theoretical fission barriers test theories that predict properties of superheavy elements.
Co-existence and shell structures of several superfluids in trapped three-component Fermi mixtures
2006
We study the properties of a trapped interacting three component Fermi gas. We assume that one of the components can have a different mass from the other two. We calculate the different phases of the three component mixture and find a rich variety of different phases corresponding to different pairing channels, and simple ways of tuning the system from one phase to another. In particular, we predict co-existence of several different superfluids in the trap, forming a shell structure, and phase transitions from this mixture of superfluids to a single superfluid when the system parameters or temperature is varied. Such shell structures realize superfluids with a non-trivial spatial topology a…
