Copper isotopes have been studied within various theoretical approaches, including the Shell model. Here, we describe their static properties using a new analytical approach. In the proposed model, we consider odd-A Cu isotopes as closed-shell nuclei plus one proton outside the [Formula: see text] shell gap. We calculate their static properties such as ground state energies, electric quadrupole moments and charge radii. The obtained results show good agreement with the experimental data, thus suggesting that our approach can be applicable to similar isotopic chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
