Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-
particle orbitals (n, l, j= l+ 1/2) and (n− 1, l+ 2, j= l+ 3/2) indicates a hidden symmetry in …

Self-consistent mean field models are a powerful tool in the investigation of nuclear structure
and low-energy dynamics. They are based on effective energy-density functionals, often …

This paper presents a detailed assessment of the ability of the 240 Skyrme interaction
parameter sets in the literature to satisfy a series of criteria derived from macroscopic …

A new parametrization PC-PK1 for the nuclear covariant energy density functional with
nonlinear point-coupling interaction is proposed by fitting to observables of 60 selected …

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation are exotic rotational phenomena observed in
weakly deformed or near-spherical nuclei, which are respectively interpreted in terms of the …

Covariant density functional theory with a few parameters has been widely used to describe
the ground-and excited-state properties for nuclei all over the nuclear chart. In order to …

The self-consistent tilted axis cranking relativistic mean-field theory based on a point-
coupling interaction has been established and applied to investigate systematically the …

We review recent developments in the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) approach for a self-
consistent description of nuclear ground-state properties and dynamics. A brief summary of …

Excitations of chiral rotation observed in triaxial nuclei and magnetic and/or antimagnetic
rotations (AMR) seen in near-spherical nuclei have attracted a lot of attention. Unlike …

A new density-dependent point-coupling covariant density functional PCF-PK1 is proposed,
where the exchange terms of the four-fermion terms are local and are taken into account …
