We investigate the shell structure of bubble nuclei in simple phenomenological shell models and study their binding energy as a function of the radii and of the number of neutron and protons using Strutinsky's method. Shell effects come…
The existence of shell structure and the accompanying high degeneracy of electronic levels leads to the possibility of strong superconducting pairing in metallic nanoclusters with N~100-1000 delocalized electrons. The most favorable cases…
The binding energy of an isotope is a sensitive indicator of the underlying shell structure as it reflects the net energy content of a nucleus. Since magic nuclei are significantly lighter, or more bound, compared to their neighbors, the…
We discuss the present status of the description of the structure of the very neutron rich nuclei, in the framework of modern large scale shell model calculations. Particular attention is paid to the interaction related issues, as well as…
In this work, we identify a unique and novel feature of central density depletion in both proton and neutron named as doubly bubble nuclei in 50$\leq$Z(N)$\leq$82 region. The major role of 2d-3s single-particle (s.p.) states in the…
The pre and post-scission neutron multiplicities have been determined for the fission of the compound nucleus (CN) 206Rn, induced by the reaction 28Si+178Hf within the excitation energy interval of 61.0-90.0 MeV. We intentionally formed CN…

Exotic nuclei are characterized by a number of neutrons (or protons) in excess relative to stable nuclei. Their shell structure, which represents single-particle motion in a nucleus, may vary due to nuclear force and excess neutrons, in a…
We have studied the evolution of the shell structure of nuclei near the neutron drip line in the Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) theory with the vector self-coupling of omega meson. The experimental data on the shell effects about the…
The half-lives of isotopes around the $N=82$ shell closure are an important ingredient in astrophysical simulations and strongly influence the magnitude of the second $r$-process abundance peak in the $A\sim130$ region. The most…
Two back-to-back experiments, 28Si + 178Hf and 28Si + 186W, were intentionally conducted to validate the role of shell closure in pre-actinides by studying neutron multiplicity in compound nucleus (CN) 206Rn and 214Ra. In the first…
