Abstract
The even-Z odd-N neutron-halo nuclei, which are the possible lightest neutron-halo nuclei heavier than Mg, are explored by studying the shell-structure unique in weakly-bound neutrons for spherical or deformed shape. It is pointed out that due to the narrowed N=50 spherical energy-gap and a few resulting close-lying neutron one-particle levels, 1g, 3s, and 2d, for spherical shape, nuclei with some weakly-bound neutrons filling in those levels may be deformed and have a good chance to show deformed s-wave halo. Promising candidates are Cr, Cr, Cr and Fe in the case that those nuclei lie inside the neutron drip-line. An interesting possibility of the deformed p-wave or s-wave halo is suggested also for the nucleus Ar.
