Abstract: (WSP)
A systematic study of shapes in Ni (Z = 28) isotopes has been made in the Relativistic–Hartree–Bogoliubov (RHB) formalism with two types of density-dependent NN interactions which are based on the range of meson-exchange. The constraint calculations assuming the axial and triaxial-symmetry predict the shape isomerism in the case of 56,64,66,68,70,80Ni isotopes. Significant jumps at N = 28, 40, 50 in the binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) and in the S2n correspond to the neutron shell closure, and 56,68,78Ni as doubly magic nuclei. The present calculation supports the recently reported calculations using the non-relativistic Hartree–Fock (HF) Skyrme SIII [1] interaction predicting the importance of tensor parameter in order to reproduce the experimental findings of the proton level crossing at N = 46. The results obtained are in agreement with experiment and with other theoretical studies.
