Three stable isobars, $^{96}_{40}$Zr$_{56}$, $^{96}_{42}$Mo$_{54}$ and $^{96}_{44}$Ru$_{52}$, which are in the vicinity of the harmonic oscillator proton shell closure Z=40 and the spin-orbit neutron shell closure N=50, are investigated for…

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in odd-mass Nb isotopes are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model with configuration mixing. A quantum analysis reveals a Type I QPT (gradual shape-evolution within the…

With the experimental data at the national nuclear data center, NNDC, we investigate systematically the emerging nuclear structure properties in the first 2+ excited energies, E(2+) and their energy ratios to the first 4+ levels, R =…

Shape coexistence has been a subject of great interest in nuclear physics for many decades. In the context of the nuclear shell model, intruder excitations may give rise to remarkably low-lying excited $0^+$ states associated with different…

Background: Type II shell evolution has recently been identified as a microscopic cause for nuclear shape coexistence. Purpose: Establish a low-lying rotational band in 96-Zr. Methods: High-resolution inelastic electron scattering and a…

The last decade has seen a rapid growth of our understanding of the microscopic origins of shape coexistence, assisted by the new data provided by the modern radioactive ion beam facilities built worldwide. Islands of the nuclear chart in…

The shape of the atomic nucleus is a property which underpins our understanding of nuclear systems, impacts the limits of nuclear existence, and enables probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Nuclei can adopt a variety of shapes,…

Very recently the atomic masses of neutron-rich Zr isotopes, from $^{96}$Zr to $^{104}$Zr, have been measured with high precision. Using a schematic Interacting Boson Model (IBM) Hamiltonian, the evolution from spherical to deformed shapes…

The deformation properties within the $^{98-106}$Ru even-even isotopic chain, are investigated by means of the Covariant Density Functional Theory with a Density-Dependent Point-Coupling X parametrization. The considered nuclei are found to…

Background Even-even isotopes of Mo ($Z=42$) and Ru ($Z=44$) are nuclei close to the subshell closure at $Z=40$, where shape coexistence plays a significant role. As a result, their spectroscopic properties are expected to resemble those of…

In these lecture notes I present a short review of nuclear shapes, shape coexistence and shape-phase transitions in the interacting boson model. In a study with random interactions it is shown that the appearance of regular spectral…

Shape and multiple shape coexistence of nuclei are investigated throughout the nuclear chart by calculating the low-lying spectra and the quadrupole shape invariants for even-even nuclei with $10\leq Z\leq 104$ from the proton drip line to…

We investigate the isotopes of Se, Zr, Mo and Nd in the regions with N = 40, 60 and 90, where a first-order shape / phase transition, from spherical to deformed, can be observed. The signs of phase transitional behavior become evident by…

We explore two-particle transfer reactions as a unique probe of the occurence of shape coexistence in shape phase transitions. The (t,p) reactions to the ground state and to excited $0^+$ states are calculated for the isotope chain of…

Nuclei exhibit quantum phase transitions (earlier called ground state phase transitions) between different shapes as the number of nucleons is modified, resulting in changes in the ground and low lying nuclear states. Special solutions of…

This review is focused on various properties of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in the Interacting Boson Model (IBM) of nuclear structure. The model in its infinite-size limit exhibits shape-phase transitions between spherical, deformed…

The properties of the low-lying states, especially the relevant shape coexistence in $^{80}$Ge close to one of most neutron-rich doubly magic nuclei at $N=50$ and $Z=28$ have been investigated within the framework of the proton-neutron…

We study a global nuclear structure in the framework of experimental observables. With the aid of large nuclear structure data at the national nuclear data center, NNDC, we present the distinctive systematic patterns emerged in the first 2+…

Experimental data on $^{96}$Zr indicate coexisting spherical and deformed structures with small mixing amplitudes. We investigate the properties of the low-lying collective states of $^{96}$Zr based on the collective quadrupole Bohr…

The lifetimes of first excited 2$^+$, 4$^+$ and 6$^+$ states in $^{98}$Zr were measured with the Recoil-Distance Doppler Shift method in an experiment performed at GANIL. Excited states in $^{98}$Zr were populated using the fission reaction…
