Abstract

We studied dipole excitations in 10^{10}Be based on an extended version of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics, which can describe 1p-1h excitations and large amplitude cluster modes. Toroidal and compressive dipole operators are found to be good proves to separate the low-energy and high-energy parts of the isoscalar dipole excitations, respectively. Two low-energy 11^- states, the toroidal dominant 111^-_1 state at E8E\sim 8 MeV and the E1E1 dominant 121^-_2 state at E16E\sim 16 MeV, were obtained. By analysis of transition current densities, the 111^-_1 states is understood as a toroidal dipole mode with exotic toroidal neutron flow caused by rotation of a deformed 6He^6\textrm{He} cluster, whereas the 121^-_2 state is regarded as a neutron-skin oscillation mode, which are characterized by surface neutron flow with inner isoscalar flow caused by the surface neutron oscillation against the 2α2\alpha core.
