We consider several topics concerning static magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments ($\mu$ and $Q$) as signatures of the onset of nuclear collectivity. Having previously noted that in $^{50}\mbox{Cr}$ there is an abrupt change of…

We define the "quadrupole ratio" r_{Q}=\dfrac{Q_{0}(S)}{Q_{0}(B)} where Q_{0}(S) is the intrinsic quadrupole moment obtained from the static quadrupole moment of the 2_{1}^{+} state of an even-even nucleus and Q_{0}(B) the intrinsic…

We define the ``quadrupole ratio'' $r_Q = \dfrac{Q_0(S)}{Q_0(B)}$ where $Q_0(S)$ is the intrinsic quadrupole moment obtained from the static quadrupole moment of the $2_1^+$ state of an even-even nucleus and $Q_0(B)$ the intrinsic…
We analyze the results obtained from a model consisting of the interaction between a moving electric quadrupole moment and a magnetic field. We argue that there are no bound states contrary to what the author stated. It is shown that the…
The Schr\"odinger equation for a charged particle in the field of a nonrelativistic electric quadrupole in two dimensions is known to be separable in spherical coordinates. We investigate the occurrence of bound states of negative energy…
In heavy atoms and ions, nuclear structure effects are significantly enhanced due to the overlap of the electron wave functions with the nucleus. This overlap rapidly increases with the nuclear charge $Z$. We study the energy level shifts…
Neutral molecules with sufficiently large dipole moments can bind electrons in diffuse nonvalence orbitals with most of their charge density far from the nuclei, forming so-called dipole-bound anions. Because long-range correlation effects…
Nuclear quadrupole moments ($Q$s) in three isotopes of potassium (K) with atomic mass numbers 39, 40 and 41 are evaluated more precisely in this work. The $Q$ value of $^{39}$K is determined to be 0.0614(6) $b$ by combining the available…
