The purpose of the work is to evaluate effect of the isovector dipole and quadrupole-octupole modes coupling on the $B(E1;1^-_1\rightarrow 0^+_1)/B(E1;3^-_1\rightarrow 2^+_1)$ ratio. The Hamiltonian of the phenomenological collective model…

Recent studies have confirmed the coupling of optical vortices, such as Laguerre-Gaussian and Bessel-Gaussian modes, to quadrupole-active atomic transitions. This interaction has been shown to be enhanced considerably in the case of…
We propose an analytically solvable sextic potential model with non-trivial soliton solutions connecting the trivial vacua. The model does not respect parity symmetry, and like $\phi^4$ theory has two minima. The soliton solutions and the…
We study the convergence of bound-state quadrupole moments in finite harmonic oscillator spaces. We derive an expression for the infrared extrapolation for the quadrupole moment of a nucleus and benchmark our results using different model…

We consider winding number transitions in the two dimensional O(3) non-linear sigma model, modified by a suitable conformal symmetry breaking term. We discuss the general properties of the relevant instanton solutions which dominate the…
We study $\Gamma_3$ quadrupole orders in a face-centered cubic lattice. The $\Gamma_3$ quadrupole moments under cubic symmetry possess a unique cubic invariant in their free energy in the uniform ($q=0$) sector and the triple-q sector for…
We define the "quadrupole ratio" r_{Q}=\dfrac{Q_{0}(S)}{Q_{0}(B)} where Q_{0}(S) is the intrinsic quadrupole moment obtained from the static quadrupole moment of the 2_{1}^{+} state of an even-even nucleus and Q_{0}(B) the intrinsic…
Non-uniform fields are commonly used to study vesicle dielectrophoresis and can be used to hitherto relatively unexplored areas of vesicle deformation and electroporation. A common but perplexing problem in vesicle dynamics is the cross…
Davidson potentials of the form $\beta^2 +\beta_0^4/\beta^2$, when used in the original Bohr Hamiltonian for $\gamma$-independent potentials bridge the U(5) and O(6) symmetries. Using a variational procedure, we determine for each value of…
