The rigidities of collective nuclear oscillations were calculated for 44 even-even atomic nuclei and compared to the charge radii. Correlations between the rigidity maxima and the minimal values of the r 0 parameter were revealed. These correlations were attributed to the high surface tension in nuclei with filled neutron shells and the associated increase in pressure on nuclear matter.
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.
