Abstract: (APS)
In this theoretical study, we establish a correlation between the neutron skin thickness and the nuclear symmetry energy for the even-even isotopes of Fe, Ni, Zn, Ge, Se, and Kr within the framework of the axially deformed self-consistent relativistic mean field for the nonlinear NL3* and density-dependent DD-ME1 interactions. The coherent density functional method is used to formulate the symmetry energy, the neutron pressure, and the curvature of finite nuclei as a function of the nuclear radius. We have performed broad studies for the mass dependence on the symmetry energy in terms of the neutron-proton asymmetry for mass 70≤A≤96. From this analysis, we found a notable signature of a shell closure at N=50 in the isotopic chains of Fe, Ni, Zn, Ge, Se, and Kr nuclei. The present study reveals a interrelationship between the characteristics of infinite nuclear matter and the neutron skin thickness of finite nuclei.Note:
