Abstract

We give a brief overview of recent work examining the presence of α\alpha-clusters in light nuclei within the Skyrme-force Hartree-Fock model. Of special significance are investigations into α\alpha-chain structures in carbon isotopes and 16^{16}O. Their stability and possible role in fusion reactions are examined in static and time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. We find a new type of shape transition in collisions and a centrifugal stabilization of the 4α4\alpha chain state in a limited range of angular momenta. No stabilization is found for the 3α3\alpha chain.
