The microscopic origin of the $^{229m}$Th isomer and its possible manifestation also in neighboring nuclei is explored within a selfconsistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock plus Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. By using the well established SIII…
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…
Nuclei located in the neutron-deficient Pb region have a complex structure, rapidly evolving as a function of neutron and proton numbers. The most famous example is $^{186}$Pb where the three lowest levels are $0^+$ states, the two excited…
