Rod-shaped Nuclei at Extreme Spin and Isospin
Rod-shaped Nuclei at Extreme Spin and Isospin
The anomalous rod shape in carbon isotopes has been investigated in the framework of the cranking covariant density functional theory, and two mechanisms to stabilize such a novel shape with respect to the bending motion, extreme spin, and isospin, are simultaneously discussed for the first time in a self-consistent and …
