The structural evolution in transitional nuclei of mass 80 $\leq$ A $\leq$ 132

Abstract

In this theoretical study, we report an investigation on the behavior of two neutron separation energy, differential variation of the separation energy and the abnormality in nuclear charge radius along the isotopic and isotonic chains of transition nuclei. We have used relativistic mean field formalism with NL3 and NL3$^*$ forces for this present analysis. The study refers to {\it even-even} nuclei such as Zr, Mo, Ru and Pd with $N$ = 40$-$ 86, where a rich collective phenomena such as proton radioactivity, cluster or nucleus radioactivity, exotic shapes, {\it Island of Inversion} and etc. are observed. These non-monotonic aspects over the isotopic chain are mainly correlated with the structural properties like shell/sub-shell closures, shape transition, clustering and magicity etc. In addition to these, we have shown the internal configuration of these nuclei to get a further insight into the reason for these discrepancies.
