We investigate the isotopes of Se, Zr, Mo and Nd in the regions with N = 40, 60 and 90, where a first-order shape / phase transition, from spherical to deformed, can be observed. The signs of phase transitional behavior become evident by…

The nuclear binding energies for 28 nuclei including several isotopic chains with masses ranging from A=64 to A=226 were evaluated using the Skyrme effective nucleon-nucleon interaction and the Extended Thomas-Fermi approximation. The…
We demonstrate that hot superheavy nuclei do not retain spherical shapes, as traditionally assumed, but instead equilibrate in deformed, often oblate or triaxial, configurations at finite excitation energy. This behavior arises from a…
Extensive gamma-ray spectroscopy of very neutron-rich nuclei of isotopes between the Ni and Sn isotopic chains was facilitated by the high luminosity LH2 target system, MINOS. Results show a persistence of deformation when going beyond the…
We have calculated the masses, deformations, and other properties of 8979 nuclei ranging from oxygen-16 to Z = 136, A = 339 and extending from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line on the basis of the 1992 version of the…

The Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP, coupled to the Ion-Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility at Jyvaskyla, was employed to measure the atomic masses of neutron rich 85 to 92Br and 94 to 97Rb isotopes with a typical…
In rapid-proton capture (rp-process), N=Z nuclei above Ni are understood to act as waiting-point nuclei. The N=Z nuclei 68Se, 72Kr, 76Sr and 80Zr among others are known to give rise to a large-energy x-ray flux and peaks in abundances of…
Recent experiments have reached the neutron-rich Cr isotope with N=40 and confirmed enhanced collectivity near this sub-shell. The current data focus on low-spin spectroscopy only, with little information on the states where high-j…

Covariant density functional theory is used to analyze the evolution of low-lying M1 strength in superfluid deformed nuclei in the framework of the self-consistent Relativistic Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (RQRPA). In nuclei…
We present a possibility that the system with Z = 20, N = 40, 60Ca, has a large deformation, even though it has both proton and neutron magic numbers, symbolizing a spherical nucleus. This large deformation corresponds to the so-called…
The proton-rich nucleus $^{22}$Si is studied using Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory with high-fidelity chiral forces. Our results indicate that $^{22}$Si is more tightly bound than $^{20}$Mg, thereby excluding the possibility of…
We compute the proton-neutron entanglement entropy in the interacting nuclear shell model for a variety of nuclides and interactions. Some results make intuitive sense, for example that the shell structure, as governed by single-particle…
