Density distributions of superheavy nuclei
Abstract
We employed the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model to investigate the density distributions and their dependence on nuclear shapes and isospins in the superheavy mass region. Different Skyrme forces were used for the calculations with a special comparison to the experimental data in Pb. The ground-state deformations, nuclear radii, neutron skin thicknesses and -decay energies were also calculated. Density distributions were discussed with the calculations of single-particle wavefunctions and shell fillings. Calculations show that deformations have considerable effects on the density distributions, with a detailed discussion on the 120 nucleus. Earlier predictions of remarkably low central density are not supported when deformation is allowed for.
