Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

We present a review of recent applications of self-consistent relativistic mean-field models to
exotic nuclear structure. Based on concepts of non-renormalizable effective relativistic field …

The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

The subject of clustering has a lineage which runs throughout the history of nuclear physics.
Its attraction is the simplification of the often uncorrelated behaviour of independent particles …

This article is devoted to a review of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the
nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena. Even-even isotopes around …

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 …

The N= 20 and N= 28 “islands of inversion” are described by large scale shell model
calculations with an extension of the interaction SDPF-U that makes it possible to mix …

Recent developments of physics of nuclear clustering are discussed. Our discussions are
mostly focussed on structural problems because the characteristic feature of the recent …
