Microscopic study of shape evolution and some important ground state properties of ^190–210Au isotopes

Abstract

In this paper, we have examined the nuclear structural properties of [Formula: see text]Au isotopes within the framework of the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov Model. For the theoretical calculations, we have used the UNEDF2 and SKP interactions. The studies include the shape evolution, quadrupole deformation parameter [Formula: see text], nuclear electric quadrupole moment Q(b), single-particle energy levels, the binding energy per nucleon, nuclear charge radius, neutron rms radius, proton rms radius and neutron skin thickness. To analyze the accuracy of our theoretical results, we have presented the comparative analysis with experimental data and finite-range droplet model calculations. The adequate resemblance with experimental data is supporting our studies. We observe the oblate-prolate shape coexistence for [Formula: see text]Au, [Formula: see text]Au and [Formula: see text]Au using the UNEDF2 interaction.
