Relativistic mean field study of 'islands of inversion' in neutron rich Z = 17 - 23, 37 - 40 and 60 - 64 nuclei

Abstract

We study the extremely neutron-rich nuclei for $Z = 17 - 23$, $37 - 40$ and $60 - 64$ regions of the periodic table by using axially deformed relativistic mean field formalism with NL3* parametrization. Based on the analysis of binding energy, two neutron separation energy, quadrupole deformation and root mean square radii, we emphasized the speciality of these considered regions which are recently predicted islands of inversion.
