This study presents a systematic investigation of the effects of isospin, including both T=0 and T=/0 components, on nucleon pairing correlations in fp-shell nuclei. To this aim, the interacting boson model-4, which explicitly incorporates…
The neutron-rich nuclei 130Cd and 206Hg, so important in the astrophysical processes, may also be useful in tracking the evolution of nuclear shell gaps as one traverses the neutron-rich region. The high spin 8+ isomer in 130Cd and the 10+…

We investigate the isospin dependence of pseudospin symmetry in the chain of tin isotopes (from $^{120}$Sn until $^{170}$Sn). Using a Woods-Saxon parametrization of the nuclear potential for these isotopes we study in detail the effect of…
We propose a semi-empirical nuclear mass formula based on the macroscopic-microscopic method in which the isospin and mass dependence of model parameters are investigated with the Skyrme energy density functional. The number of model…

Atomic nuclei have a shell structure where nuclei with 'magic numbers' of neutrons and protons are analogous to the noble gases in atomic physics. Only ten nuclei with the standard magic numbers of both neutrons and protons have so far been…

Shell quenching phenomena in nuclear charge radii are typically observed at the well-established neutron magic numbers. However, the recent discovery of potential new magic numbers at the neutron numbers $N = 32$ and $N = 34$ has sparked…
