We consider the semiclassical rigid-body quantization of Skyrmion solutions of mass numbers B = 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. We determine the allowed quantum states for each Skyrmion, and find that they often match the observed states of nuclei. The spin and isospin inertia tensors of these Skyrmions are accurately calculated for the first time, and are used to determine the excitation energies of the quantum states. We calculate the energy level splittings, using a suitably chosen parameter set for each mass number. We find good qualitative and encouraging quantitative agreement with experiment. In particular, the rotational bands of beryllium-8 and carbon-12, along with isospin 1 triplets and isospin 2 quintets, are especially well reproduced. We also predict the existence of states that have not yet been observed, and make predictions for the unknown quantum numbers of some observed states.

Potential energy surfaces and fission barriers of superheavy nuclei are analyzed in the macroscopic-microscopic model. The Lublin-Strasbourg Drop (LSD) is used to obtain the macroscopic part of the energy, whereas the shell and pairing energy corrections are evaluated using the Yukawa-folded potential. A standard flooding technique has been used to determine the barrier heights. It was shown the Fourier shape parametrization containing only three deformation parameters reproduces well the nuclear shapes of nuclei on their way to fission. In addition, the non-axial degree of freedom is taken into account to describe better the form of nuclei around the ground state and in the saddles region. Apart from the symmetric fission valley, a new very asymmetric fission mode is predicted in most superheavy nuclei. The fission fragment mass distributions of considered nuclei are obtained by solving the 3D Langevin equations.
The Quark-Meson-Coupling (QMC) model has been applied to the study of the properties of even-even super-heavy nuclei with 96 < Z < 110, over a wide range of neutron numbers. The aim is to identify the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and N = 162 predicted in macroscopic-microscopic (macro-micro) models, in a model based on the mean-field Hartree-Fock+BCS approximation. The predictive power of the model has been tested on proton and neutron spherical shell gaps in light doubly closed (sub)shell nuclei. In the super-heavy region, the ground state binding energies of 98 < Z < 110 and 146 < N < 160 differ, in the majority of cases, from the measured values by less than 2.5 MeV, with the deviation decreasing with increasing Z and N. The axial quadrupole deformation parameter, calculated over the range of neutron numbers 138 < N < 184, revealed a prolate-oblate coexistence and shape transition around N = 168, followed by an oblate-spherical transition towards the expected N = 184 shell closure in Cm, Cf, Fm and No. The closure is not predicted in Rf, Sg, Hs and Ds as another shape transition to a highly deformed shape in Sg, Hs and Ds for N > 178 appears, while 288Rf (N = 184) remains oblate. The bulk properties predicted by QMC are found to have a limited sensitivity to the deformed shell gaps at N = 152 and 162. However, the evolution of the neutron single-particle spectra with 0 < beta2 < 0.55 gives unambiguous evidence for the location and size of the N = 152 and 162 gaps as a function of Z and N. In addition, the neutron number dependence of neutron pairing energies provides supporting evidence for existence of the energy gaps.
The reanimation of the investigations dedicated to 0^{+} states energies and E0 transitions between them is provoked by new and more precise experimental techniques that not only made revision of the previous data but also gave a possibility to obtain a great amount of new 0^{+} states energies and conversion electrons data. We suggest one phenomenological model for estimation of the E0 transition nuclear matrix elements. Recently theoretical calculations [1] predicted existence of a 0^{+} state with energy 0.68 MeV in ^{160}Dy nucleus. Powerful enough arguments in favor of existence of 681.3 keV state in ^{160}Dy nucleus are presented.
A unitary description for wobbling motion in even-even and even-odd nuclei is presented. In both cases compact formulas for wobbling frequencies are derived. The accuracy of the harmonic approximation is studied for the yrast as well as for the excited bands in the even-even case. Important results for the structure of the wave function and its behavior inside the two wells of the potential energy function corresponding to the Bargmann representation are pointed out. Applications to $^{158}$Er and $^{163}$Lu reveal a very good agreement with available data. Indeed, the yrast energy levels in the even-even case and the first four triaxial super-deformed bands, TSD1,TSD2,TSD3 and TSD4, are realistically described. Also, the results agree with the data for the E2 and M1 intra- as well as inter-band transitions. Perspectives for the formalism development and an extensive application to several nuclei from various regions of the nuclides chart are presented.
Rotational structures of even-even $^{148-160}$Nd nuclei are studied with the self-consistent deformed Hartree-Fock (HF) and angular momentum (J) projection model. Spectra of ground band, recently observed $K=4^{-}$, $K=5^{-}$ and a few more excited, positive and negative parity bands have been studied upto high spin values. Apart from these detailed electromagnetic properties (like E2, M1 matrix elements) of all the bands have been obtained. There is substantial agreement between our model calculations and available experimental data. Predictions are made about the band structures and electromagnetic properties of these nuclei. Some 4-qasiparticle K-isomeric bands and their electromagnetic properties are predicted.
