It is found that $\alpha$ cluster structure has the apparently opposing dual property of crystallinity and condensation simultaneously. The mathematical equivalence of the spatially localized Brink $\alpha$ cluster model in the generator…
For more than half a century, the structure of $^{12}$C, such as the ground band, has been understood to be well described by the three $\alpha$ cluster model based on a geometrical crystalline picture. On the contrary, recently it has been…
Observed well-developed $\alpha$ cluster states in $^{16}$O, located above the four $\alpha$ threshold, are investigated from the viewpoint of Bose-Einstein condensation of $\alpha$ clusters by using a field-theoretical superfluid cluster…
Bose-Einstein condensation of alpha clusters in light and medium-heavy nuclei is studied in the frame of the field theoretical superfluid cluster model. The order parameter of the phase transition from the Wigner phase to the…
We show for the first time that the low-spin ($J \le 4^+$) six-$\alpha$ condensate candidate states in $^{24}$Mg, recently reported by Fujikawa et al. [Phys. Lett. B 848, 138384 (2024)], are well described by the superfluid $\alpha$-cluster…
At low densities, with decreasing temperatures, in symmetric nuclear matter alpha-particles are formed, which eventually give raise to a quantum condensate with four-nucleon alpha-like correlations (quartetting). Starting with a model of…
This article comprises three sections. Section 2 starts with a review of ab initio no-core shell model calculations by Monte Carlo Shell Model. Alpha clustering arises for 8,10,12Be and 12C with Daejeon16 and JISP16 interactions, even in…
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…
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.…
An effective field theory of $\alpha$ cluster condensation is formulated as a spontaneously broken symmetry in quantum field theory to understand the raison d'etre and nature of the Hoyle and $\alpha$ cluster states in $^{12}$C. The…
Alpha clustering is an important dynamic in nuclear physics, with growing interest to its study in heavy nuclei in recent years. Theoretically, the microscopic cluster models taking nucleons as relevant degrees of freedom have been widely…
The persistence of $\alpha+\alpha+t$ cluster configuration in the ground state of $^{11}$B is discussed. The $\alpha$ particles emitted from excited states of $^{12}$C could be utilized for cancer treatment, where the cluster states are…
New concept of clustering is discussed in $\Lambda$ hypernuclei using a new-type microscopic cluster model wave function, which has a structure that constituent clusters are confined in a container, whose size is a variational parameter and…
We have studied the positive-parity states of $^{40}$Ca using antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) and the generator coordinate method (GCM). Imposing two different kinds of constraints on the variational calculation, we have found…
A supersolid is a counter-intuitive state of matter that combines the frictionless flow of a superfluid with the crystal-like periodic density modulation of a solid. Since the first prediction in the 1950s, experimental efforts to realize…
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…
We investigate the formation of cluster crystals with multiply occupied lattice sites on a spherical surface in systems of ultra-soft particles interacting via repulsive, bounded pair potentials. Not all interactions of this kind lead to…
Superconductivity, superfluidity, condensation, cluster formation, etc. are phenomena that might occur in many-particle systems. These are due to residual interactions between the particles. To explain these phenomena consistently in a…
$\alpha$-cluster correlations in the ground states of $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O are studied. Because of the $\alpha$ correlations, the intrinsic states of $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O have triangle and tetrahedral shapes, respectively. The…
The initial-state geometry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions provides a novel probe to nuclear cluster structure. For $^{20}$Ne, a novel approach is proposed to distinguish between the cluster configurations (5$\alpha$ versus $\alpha +…
