Non-axial Octupole Deformations of N=Z Nuclei in $A \sim 60-80$ Mass Region

arXiv:nucl-th/9810067 · doi:10.1063/1.59520

Abstract

By performing a fully three dimensional Hartree-Fock calculation with use of the Skyrm forces, we demonstrate possibility of exotic deformations violating both the reflection and the axial symmetries of N=Z nuclei in $A \sim 60-80$ mass region. The \Ytwo tetrahedral shape predicted in excited \Zr arises from a shell gap at $N,Z = 40$ which is enhanced for the tetrahedron deformation. Softness toward the \Ythree triangular deformation of the oblate state in \Se is also predicted.
