We propose a method to optimize the multi-Slater determinants of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) in the linear combination form and apply it to the neutron-rich $^{10}$Be nucleus. The individual Slater determinants and their…

Two interacting, strongly-deformed triaxial (TSD) bands have been identified in the Z = 69 nucleus ^{163}Tm. This is the first time that interacting TSD bands have been observed in an element other than the Z = 71 Lu nuclei, where wobbling…

We study the $\alpha + \alpha + {}^{3}$He cluster structure of ${}^{11}$C within the microscopic cluster model. The calculations essentially reproduce the energy spectra for both negative and positive parity states, particularly the…

Background: Applications of nuclear time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) are often capable of providing quantitative description of heavy ion reactions. However, the structure of pre-compound states produced in heavy ion…

We make an exploratory study of how well dark energy models can be constrained using lensed arcs at different redshifts behind cluster lenses. Arcs trace the critical curves of clusters, and the growth of critical curves with source…

Significant transition strength in light $\alpha$-conjugate nuclei at low energy, typically below 10 MeV, has been observed in many experiments. In this work the isoscalar low-energy response of N=Z nuclei is explored using the Finite…

While photodissociation of molecular systems has been extensively studied, the photoinduced formation of chemical bonds remains largely unexplored. Especially for larger aggregates, the electronic and nuclear dynamics involved in the…

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…

An inelastic excitation and cluster-decay experiment $\rm {^2H}(^{16}C,~{^{4}He}+{^{12}Be}~or~{^{6}He}+{^{10}Be}){^2H}$ was carried out to investigate the linear-chain clustering structure in neutron-rich $\rm {^{16}C}$. For the first time,…

A unique property of metal nanoclusters is the "superatom" shell structure of their delocalized electrons. The electronic shell levels are highly degenerate and therefore represent sharp peaks in the density of states. This can enable…
