The evolution of the N=28 neutron shell closure is studied in the N=28 isotones from neutron drip line's $^{40}$Mg to N=Z doubly magic $^{56}$Ni. It is found that the N=28 closure vanishes at Z=12 in favor of a deformed ground state. For…
The superdeformed band, recently discovered in Ca-40 is analysed in an spherical shell model context. Two major oscillator shells, sd and pf are necessary to describe it. The yrast band of the fixed 8p-8h configuration fits extremely well…
This work presents theoretical calculations of infrared spectra of nitrogen (N)-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules with incorporation of N, NH and NH$_2$ using density functional theory (DFT). The properties of their…
Fragmentation of the dipole strength in the N=82 isotones 140Ce, 142Nd and 144Sm is calculated using the second random-phase approximation (SRPA). In comparison with the result of the random-phase approximation (RPA), the SRPA provides the…
Shape coexistence problems in N=14 isotones are studied with a microscopic method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The present calculations reproduce features of deformation in 28Si, and predict possible shape coexistence of neutron…
Large scale shell model calculations in two major oscillator shells (sd and pf) describe simultaneously the super-deformed excited band of 36Ar and its low-lying states of dominant sd character. In addition, several two particle two hole…

Based on measurements of angle resolved photoemission, we report that in the Pb/Ge(111)- \sqrt{3}x\sqrt{3} R30^\circ structure, in addition to three bands resembling Ge heavy hole (HH), light hole (LH), and split off (SO) bulk band edges, a…

Surface plasmons in 2-dimensional electron systems with narrow Bloch bands feature an interesting regime in which Landau damping (dissipation via electron-hole pair excitation) is completely quenched. This surprising behavior is made…
A gas-phase optical spectrum of a large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cation - C78H26 +- in the 410-610 nm range is presented. This large all-benzenoid PAH should be large enough to be stable with respect to photodissociation in the…
The excitation energy of deformed intruder states (specifically the 2p2h bandhead) as a function of proton number $Z$ along $N=20$ is of interest both in terms of better understanding the evolution of nuclear structure between spherical…
One novel family of two-dimensional IV-V compounds have been proposed, whose dynamical stabilities and electronic properties have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory. Extending from our previous work, two…

We exploit the analogy with the Quantum Hall (QH) system to study weakly interacting bosons in a harmonic trap. For a $\delta$-function interaction potential the ``yrast'' states with $L\ge N(N-1)$ are degenerate, and we show how this can…
