Abstract
Shell structure in the neutron-rich Ca and Ni nuclei is investigated by the spherical Hartree-Fock calculations with the semi-realistic interactions. Specific ingredients of the effective interaction, particularly the tensor force, often play a key role in the dependence of the neutron shell structure. Such examples are found in N=32 and N=40; N=32 becomes magic or submagic in Ca while its magicity is broken in Ni, and N=40 is submagic (though not magic) in Ni but not in Ca. Comments are given on the doubly magic nature of Ni. We point out that the loose binding can lead to a submagic number N=58 in Ni, assisted by the weak pair coupling.
