In a system with long-ranged correlations, the behavior of correlation functions is sensitive to the presence of a boundary. We show that surface deformations strongly modify this behavior as compared to a flat surface. The modified near…
The possible boundary value problems of the skyrmions are reexamined in the original Skyrme model with two new viewpoints. The first one suggests to replace the infinity boundary point by the finite radius R, which is related to the density…

It has been recently shown, that some Skyrme functionals can lead to non-converging results in the calculation of some properties of atomic nuclei. A previous study has pointed out a possible link between these convergence problems and the…

The saturation of symmetric nuclear matter -- reflected in the nearly constant interior density of heavy nuclei -- is a defining property of nuclear matter. Modern relativistic energy density functionals (EDFs) calibrated exclusively to the…

We address the question of how to improve the agreement between theoretical nuclear single-particle energies (SPEs) and experiment. Empirically, in doubly magic nuclei, the SPEs can be deduced from spectroscopic properties of odd nuclei…

The use of the interaction integral to compute stress intensity factors around a crack tip requires selecting an auxiliary field and a material variation field. We formulate a family of these fields accounting for the curvilinear nature of…

Generalized density dependence in Skyrme effective interactions is investigated to get forces valid beyond the mean field approximation. Preliminary results are presented for infinite symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter up to pure…
We perform a calculation of dense and hot nuclear matter where the mean interaction between nucleons is described by in-medium effective fields and where we employ analytical approximations of the Fermi integrals. We generalize a previous…
The oscillator parameter in nuclei is refitted to reproduce the available charge radius data. As an important improvement, we include the Coulomb term evaluated within the assumption of a uniformly charged sphere, and take into account the…
Using different Skyrme interactions, we have carried out a comparative analysis of fusion barriers for a wide range of interacting nuclei in the framework of semiclassical Skyrme energy density formalism. The results of our calculations…
