As a follow up of [Phys. Scr. 99 055305 (2024)], where we studied axial octupole shapes in two-quasiparticle states of even-even nuclei, we investigate this type of shapes in odd-mass and odd-odd well-deformed nuclei, using the…

Some atomic nuclei exhibit ``pear" shapes arising from octupole deformation ($\beta_3$), though direct experimental evidences for such exotic shapes remains scarce. Low-energy model studies suggest $^{238}$U may have a modest octupole…

Octupole excitations of atomic nuclei can be viewed as fluctuations around an equilibrium shape. These fluctuations in turn can be seen as probes of nuclear matter properties to the extent that the shape changes explore changes in…
