On the basis of an extended antisymmetrized molecular dynamics calculation, we study the cluster structure and the of the 0+ and 1- states of 18O. We discuss that several different kinds of cluster states appear in the excitation spectrum,…
$Background$: The $\alpha$-cluster model was successful for describing spectroscopic properties of light nuclei near the shell closures. Evidences of the $\alpha$-cluster structure in $^{94}$Mo were shown, motivating the search for the same…
Multi-configurational approaches yield universal wave function parameterizations that can qualitatively well describe electronic structures along reaction pathways. For quantitative results, multi-reference perturbation theory is required…
We report a measurement of a new high spin Jp = 5- state at 22.4(0.2) MeV in 12C which fits very well to the predicted (ground state) rotational band of an oblate equilateral triangular spinning top with a D_3h symmetry characterized by the…

Photodisintegration and radiative capture in the N2H, N3H, N3He, 2H2H, 2H3He, 2H4He, 3He3H, 4He3H, and 4He3He channels are studied on the basis of the corresponding two-cluster potential models. The astrophysical S factors at low energies…

The energy spectra of transition metal dichalcogenides are primarily influenced by the and orbitals. This results in a three-band model characterized by strong spin-orbit interaction. Investigating these bands using a projection into a…
