\item[Background] Ground-state spins and magnetic moments are sensitive to the nuclear wave function, thus they are powerful probes to study the nuclear structure of isotopes far from stability. \item[Purpose] Extend our knowledge about the…

A systematic study of the effect of tensor force on the evolution of shell structure in even-even super-heavy nuclei in the region of proton numbers Z=114, 120 and 126 and in the region of neutron numbers 178 $\le$ N $\le$ 188 is presented.…

The structure of light nuclei out to the drip lines and beyond up to Z = 8 is interpreted in terms of the shell model. Special emphasis is given to the underlying supermultiplet symmetry of the p-shell nuclei which form cores for neutrons…

Central depression of nucleonic density, i.e., a reduction of density in the nuclear interior, has been attributed to many factors. E.g., bubble structures in superheavy (SH) nuclei are believed to be due to the electrostatic repulsion. In…

Parameter-free theoretical predictions based on a dual shell mechanism within the proxy-SU(3) symmetry of atomic nuclei, as well as covariant density functional theory calculations using the DDME2 functional indicate that shape coexistence…

Shape evolution of Zr nuclei are investigated by the axial Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations using the semi-realistic interaction M3Y-P6, with focusing on roles of the tensor force. Deformation at $N\approx 40$ is reproduced, which has not…

We consider torsional oscillations that are trapped in a layer of spherical-hole (bubble) nuclear structure, which is expected to occur in the deepest region of the inner crust of a neutron star. Because this layer intervenes between the…
