Shape coexistence in doubly even nuclei is reviewed. Two main theoretical approaches are
presented. The first is essentially the shell model with the excitation of pairs of protons …

The concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking is applied to the rotating mean field of
nuclei. The description is based on the tilted-axis cranking model, which takes into account …

A small proportion of atomic nuclei can form highly excited metastable states, or isomers. Of
particular interest is a class of isomers found in deformed axially symmetric nuclei; these …

Unique in scope and treatment, Theory of Atomic Nuclei, Quasi-particle and Phonons gives
a microscopic description of the structure of complex nuclei at low and intermediate …

This review treats several pairing-related phenomena in nuclear systems, ranging from
superfluidity in neutron stars to the gradual breaking of pairs in finite nuclei. It focuses on the …

Nuclear Superfluidity is a monograph devoted exclusively to pair correlations in nuclei. It
begins by exploring pair correlations in a variety of systems including superconductivity in …

A systematic global investigation of differential charge radii has been performed within the
CDFT framework for the first time. Theoretical results obtained with conventional covariant …

One of the most interesting features of nuclei is the process by which specific configurations,
manifest as collective rotational bands at intermediate spin values, gradually lose their …

This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of nuclear structure at finite
temperature. By measuring the frequencies of the high-energy photons emitted or absorbed …

The structure of superdeformed rotational bands recently discovered around 152Dy is
discussed within the deformed shell model based on an average Woods-Saxon potential …
