Shape coexistence in the $Z \approx 82$ region has been established in mercury, lead and polonium isotopes. Even-even mercury isotopes with $100 \leq N \leq 106$ present multiple fingerprints of this phenomenon, which seems to be no longer…

In this work, we have analyzed the structural properties of even-even $^{126-188}Nd_{60}$ isotopes. For this we have used axially deformed Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) model with PK1 and NL-SH parametrization. In structural properties, We…
