QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITIONAL BEHAVIOR IN THE EXTENDED CASTEN TRIANGLE OF THE INTERACTING BOSON MODEL

Abstract

Quantum phase transitional patterns in the whole parameter space of the consistent-Q Hamiltonian in the Interacting Boson Model are studied based on an implemented Fortran code for numerical computation of the matrix elements in the SU (3) Draayer-Akiyama basis. Results with respect to both ground and some excited states of the model Hamiltonian are discussed. Quantum phase transitional behavior under a variety of parameter situations is shown. It is found that transitional behavior of excited states is more complicated. Pt isotopes are taken as examples in illustrating the prolate-oblate shape phase transition.

The prolate-oblate shape phase transition in the interacting boson model

Yu Zhang, J. Xu, Si-Han Li +1 more

The prolate-oblate shape phase transition in the the interacting boson model is revisited by adopting the transitional Hamiltonian with a linear dependence on the control parameter. The analysis of the shape phase transition in both the large-N limit and finite N case shows that the O(6) symmetry is robust as the critical point symmetry of the prolate-oblate shape phase transition.

Quantum Phase Transition for γ -Soft Nuclei

Jan Jolie, Richard F. Casten, Peter von Brentano +1 more

We examine a quantum phase transition in $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-soft nuclei, where the O(6) limit is simultaneously a dynamical symmetry of the U(6) group of the interacting boson model and a critical point of a prolate-oblate phase transition. This is the only example of phase transitional behavior that can be described analytically for a finite $s,d$ boson system.

Quantum phase transitions in odd-A nuclei: The effect of the odd particle from spherical to oblate shapes

Mahmut Böyükata, Clara E. Alonso, J. M. Arias +2 more

Quantum shape-phase transitions in odd-nuclei are investigated within the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model (IBFM). We consider the case of a single-j fermion coupled to an even-even boson core that performs a transition from spherical to oblate shapes varying a control parameter in the boson Hamiltonian. The aim of this work is to see the effect of the coupling of the unpaired fermion on the transition, to understand how the coupled single particle modifies the geometric shape of the system and how each of the odd states behaves when the boson core shifts along the transitional path.

We examine a quantum phase transition in gamma-soft nuclei, where the O(6) limit is simultaneously a dynamical symmetry of the U(6) group of the interacting boson model and a critical point of a prolate-oblate phase transition. This is the only example of phase transitional behavior that can be described analytically for a finite s,d boson system.

Scaling properties of quantum shape phase transitions in the interacting boson model-1

Elizabeth T. Williams, R. J. Casperson, Volker Werner

The evolution of system observables at critical points of quantum phase transitions in atomic nuclei is explored within the context of the interacting boson model-1. The evolution of energies and transition strengths in the ground state band at the infinite-size critical point are examined with respect to system size. Properties of first-order phase transitions away from the U(5)-SU(3) leg of the Casten triangle are examined, and the effects of angular momentum on the evolution of system observables at the critical point are investigated for the first time.
