The natural orbitals and natural occupation numbers of various N = Z, sp and sd shell nuclei are calculated by applying a correlated one-body density matrix. The correlated density matrix has been evaluated by considering central…
We compute the mass radius, scalar radius, tensor radius, baryon number radius and mechanical radius of nuclei with baryon number $B=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,32,108$ in the Skyrme model. The relations between these radii and the nuclear…
We revisit the studies of the isotopic shift in the charge radii of {\it even-even} isotopes of Sn and Pb nuclei at $N$ = 82, and 126, respectively, within the relativistic mean-field and Relativistic-Hartree-Bogoliubov approach. The shell…
We further progress along the line of Ref. [Phys. Rev. {\bf A 94}, 043614 (2016)] where a functional for Fermi systems with anomalously large $s$-wave scattering length $a_s$ was proposed that has no free parameters. The functional is…
Studies of nuclear fission over recent decades have led to a well-defined mapping of neutron and proton shell effects across the nuclear chart, particularly within the valley of stability. These shell effects play a crucial role in driving…

The saturation of symmetric nuclear matter -- reflected in the nearly constant interior density of heavy nuclei -- is a defining property of nuclear matter. Modern relativistic energy density functionals (EDFs) calibrated exclusively to the…
I present a critical review of absolute root-mean-square charge radii of stable nuclei from $Z=3$ to $Z=32$, which includes a previously overlooked uncertainty in the combined analysis of muonic x-ray and electron scattering experiments.…
The density functional theory of nuclear structure provides a many-particle wave function that is useful for static properties, but an extension of the theory is necessary to describe correlation effects or other dynamic properties. Here we…
Understanding the evolution of nuclear size away from stability remains a central challenge in nuclear physics. In neutron-deficient systems, charge radii can be highly sensitive to the interplay between strong and electromagnetic…
We investigate the influence of the nuclear symmetry energy and its density slope parameter on the neutron dripline and neutron star properties using a semi-classical liquid drop model (LDM) and energy density functionals constrained by…
Due to the large value of the scattering length in nuclear systems, standard density--functional theories based on effective interactions usually fail to reproduce the nuclear Fermi liquid behavior both at very low densities and close to…
Nuclear structure effects are essential for describing hyperfine splittings from high-precision atomic spectroscopy measurements. These effects are often parametrized by the effective or elastic Zemach radii, with their difference poorly…

The neutron skin of atomic nuclei impacts the structure of neutron-rich nuclei, the equation of state of nucleonic matter, and the size of neutron stars. Here we predict the neutron skin of selected light- and medium-mass nuclei using…
