Deformations in N=14 isotones
Abstract
Systematic analysis of deformations in neutron-rich N=14 isotones was done based on the method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The property of the shape coexistence in Si, which is known to have the oblate ground state and the prolate excited states, was successfully described. The results suggest that the shape coexistence may occur also in neutron-rich N=14 nuclei as well as Si. It was found that the oblate neutron shapes are favored because of the spin-orbit force in most of N=14 isotones. moments and transition strengths in the neutron-rich nuclei were discussed in relation to the intrinsic deformations, and a possible difference between the proton and neutron deformations in Ne was proposed.
