Abstract

We study the phase diagram of the proton-neutron interacting boson model with special emphasis on the phase transitions leading to triaxial phases. The existence of a new critical point between spherical and triaxial shapes is reported.

Phase Structure of the Two-Fluid Proton-Neutron System

M. A. Caprio, FRANCESCO IACHELLO

The phase structure of a two-fluid bosonic system is investigated. The proton-neutron interacting boson model possesses a rich phase structure involving three control parameters and multiple order parameters. The surfaces of quantum phase transition between spherical, axially symmetric deformed, and SU(*)(pinu)(3) triaxial phases are determined.

Critical-Point Structure in Finite Nuclei

A. Leviatan

Properties of quantum shape‐phase transitions in finite nuclei are considered in the framework of the interacting boson model. Special emphasis is paid to the dynamics at the critical‐point of a general first‐order phase transition.

Some observables as an indication of atomic nuclear shape phase transition

Jin Zhang

Using interacting boson model, shape phase transitions from U(5) to O(6) and from U(5) to SU(3) are studied in the space of two control parameters. Some simple shape phase diagrams in terms of the order parameter and one of the control parameters are presented. Spectra and E2 transition rates are used to construct observables. It is shown that these observables exhibit the behavior of the shape phase transition, namely a peak structure at and after the critical point.

QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITIONS IN ODD-MASS NUCLEI

A. Leviatan, D. Petrellis, FRANCESCO IACHELLO

Quantum shape-phase transitions in odd-even nuclei are investigated in the framework of the interacting boson-fermion model. Classical and quantum analysis show that the presence of the odd fermion strongly influences the location and nature of the phase transition, especially near the critical point. Experimental evidence for the occurrence of spherical to axially-deformed transitions in odd-proton nuclei Pm, Eu and Tb (Z=61, 63, 65) is presented.

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.

Alternative characterization of the spherical to axially deformed shape-phase transition in the interacting boson model

L. R. Dai, Feng Pan, L. Liu +2 more

The quantum phase transitional behavior of an alternative characterization of the spherical to axially deformed shape-phase transition in the interacting boson model is explored. Specifically, the usual SU(3) quadrupole-quadrupole interaction is replaced by an O(6) cubic interaction, and the transitional behaviors of the low-lying energy levels, eigenstates, isomer shifts, $E$2 transition rates, and expectation values of shape variables across the entire transitional region are all examined within this context. A comparison with outcomes of the usual U(5)-SU(3) transitional description shows that the spherical to axially deformed shape-phase transition can also be described within this alternative context, especially near the critical point. However, with the O(6) cubic interaction the transition is considerably smoother than for the U(5)-SU(3) case, but with the nuclear shape less well defined, even in the axially deformed limit. It is also shown that the new scheme seems better than the usual U(5)-SU(3) scheme in describing the low-lying spectrum of ${}^{152}$Sm with X(5) critical point symmetry.
