We explain various facets of the THSR (Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-R\"opke) wave function. We first discuss the THSR wave function as a wave function of cluster-gas state, since the THSR wave function was originally introduced to elucidate the…

Background: $\alpha+{^{12}{\rm C}}$ clustering in $^{16}{\rm O}$ has been of historical importance in nuclear clustering. In the last 15 years the $4\alpha$ condensate state has been proposed as a new-type cluster state. Purpose: The aim is…
We investigate properties of bound and resonance states in the $_{\Lambda}^{9}$Be nucleus. To reveal the nature of these states, we use a three-cluster $2\alpha+\Lambda$ microscopic model. The model incorporates Gaussian and oscillator…
The first $3^-$ and $4^-$ states of $^{12}$C are studied in the present container model, in which the shift parameter is introduced to break the parity symmetry for projecting out the negative-parity states. Taking the limit as the shift…
We present a new picture that the $\alpha$-linear-chain structure for ${^{12}{\rm C}}$ and ${^{16}{\rm O}}$ has one-dimensional $\alpha$ condensate character. The wave functions of linear-chain states which are described by superposing a…

The structure of the mirror nuclei $^9$Be and $^9$B is studied in a microscopic $\alpha+ \alpha+ n$ and $\alpha+ \alpha+ p$ three-cluster model using a fully antisymmetrized 9-nucleon wave function. The two-nucleon interaction includes…

$\alpha$ cluster structure in nuclei has been long understood based on the geometrical configuration picture. By using the spatially localized Brink $\alpha$ cluster model in the generator coordinate method, it is shown that the $\alpha$…
Quartetting ($\alpha$-like clustering) occurs in low density matter ($\le 0.03$ fm$^{-3}$) which exists, e.g., at the surface of nuclei. It is of interest for the $\alpha$ preformation to calculate the $\alpha$ decay of heavy nuclei such as…
We analyze the $\alpha$-cluster wave functions in cluster states of $^8$Be and $^{20}$Ne by comparing the exact relative wave function obtained by the generator coordinate method (GCM) with various types of trial functions. For the trial…
