Deformed states in $^{40}$Ca are investigated with a method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. Above the spherical ground state, rotational bands arise from a normal deformation and a superdeformation as well as an oblate deformation.…
We have studied positive-parity states of $^{28}$Si using antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) and multi-configuration mixing (MCM) with constrained variation. Applying constraints to the cluster distance and the quadrupole deformation…
In this paper we examine to what extent traces of alpha-clustering can be found in mean-field ground states of $n\alpha$-nuclei from Be8 through Ar36 as well as in some superdeformed states in S32, Ar36, and Ca40. For this purpose we…
Background: A recent inelastic alpha-scattering experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 102701 (2022)] found $0^+$ resonances in $^{24}$Mg on and above the $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C break-up threshold. It has been conjectured that the states have a…
The alpha cluster states of 16C are investigated by using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. It is shown that two different types of alpha cluster states exist: triangular and linear-chain states. The former has an approximate…
Isoscalar giant resonances and low spin states in $^{32}$S have been measured with inelastic $\alpha$ scattering at extremely forward angles including zero degrees at E$_{\alpha}$ = 386 MeV. By applying the multipole decomposition analysis,…
We investigate the existence of weakly coupled gas-like states comprised of three $\alpha$ particles around an $^{16}$O core in $^{28}$Si. We calculate the excited states in $^{28}$Si using the multi-configuration mixing method based on the…
The existence of a rotational band with the $\alpha$+$^{12}$C($0_2^+$) cluster structure, in which three $\alpha$ particles in $^{12}$C($0_2^+$) are locally condensed, is demonstrated near the four-$\alpha$ threshold of $^{16}$O in…
$\alpha$-cluster excited states in $^{32}$S are investigated with an extended $^{28}$Si+$\alpha$ cluster model, in which the $^{28}$Si core deformation and rotation, and the $\alpha$-cluster breaking are incorporated. In the GCM calculation…
The structure of the 18O nucleus at excitation energies above the alpha decay threshold was studied using 14C+alpha resonance elastic scattering. A number of states with large alpha reduced widths have been observed, indicating that the…
According to microscopic calculations with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics, we studied cluster features in stable and unstable nuclei. A variety of structure was found in stable and unstable nuclei in the $p$-shell and $sd$-shell…
The properties of the alpha+28Si and 16O+16O molecular states which are embedded in the excited states of 32S and can have an impact on the stellar reactions are investigated using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. From the analysis…
The connection between molecular resonance phenomena in light heavy-ion collisions, alpha-clustering and extremely deformed states in light $\alpha$-like nuclei is discussed. For example, the superdeformed bands recently discovered in light…
A great deal of research work has been undertaken in the alpha-clustering study since the pioneering discovery, half a century ago, of 12C+12C molecular resonances. Our knowledge of the field of the physics of nuclear molecules has…
A superdeformed (SD) band has been identified in a non - alpha - conjugate nucleus 35Cl. It crosses the negative parity ground band above 11/2- and becomes the yrast at 15/2-. Lifetimes of all relevant states have been measured to follow…
Coupling of cluster and deformed structures are important for dynamics of nuclear structure. Threshold energy has been discussed to explain cluster structures coupling to deformed states but relation between threshold energy and excitation…
There is a deep astrophysical interest in the structure of $^{19}$F states close to the alpha decay threshold. The nuclear structure of these states is important for understanding of the development of $\alpha$ clustering in the $^{20}$Ne…
We study cluster formation in strongly deformed states for $^{28}$Si and $^{32}$S using a macroscopic-microscopic model. The study is based on calculated total-energy surfaces, which are the sums of deformation-dependent…
The relation of quarteting and clustering in atomic nuclei is discussed based on symmetry-considerations. This connection enables us to predict a complete high-energy cluster spectrum from the description of the low-energy quartet part. As…
Since the pioneering discovery of molecular resonances in the 12C+12C reaction more than half a century ago a great deal of research work has been undertaken in alpha clustering. Our knowledge on physics of nuclear molecules has increased…
