Relativistic mean-field study of light nuclei near drip line
Abstract
The relativistic mean field theory is applied to study some exotic properties of neutron rich nuclei as recently observed, namely, extension of the drip-line for F nuclei from 29F to 31F and the appearence of a new shell closure at neutron number N=16. We find 31F to be bound against one-neutron dripping but unbound only marginally for two neutron separation. The calculated functional dependence of one-neutron separation energy with neutron number for different values of TZ = (N-Z)/2 signals a new shell closure at N=16 for neutron rich nuclei with TZ 3. This is further corroborated from the study of the deformation and the gap across the Fermi surface in these light nuclei.
