Neutron $2p$ and $1f$ spin--orbit splittings were recently measured in the isotones $^{37}$S and $^{35}$Si by $(d,p)$ transfer reactions. Values were reported by using the major fragments of the states. An important reduction of the $p$ splitting was observed, from $^{37}$S to $^{35}$Si, associated to a strong modification of the spin--orbit potential in the central region of the nucleus $^{35}$Si. We analyze $2p$ and $1f$ neutron spin--orbit splittings in the $N=20$ isotones $^{40}$Ca, $^{36}$S, and $^{34}$Si. We employ several Skyrme and Gogny interactions, to reliably isolate pure spin--orbit and tensor--induced contributions, within the mean--field approximation. We use interactions (i) without the tensor force; (ii) with the tensor force and with tensor parameters adjusted on top of existing parametrizations; (iii) with the tensor force and with tensor and spin--orbit parameters adjusted simultaneously on top of existing parametrizations. We predict in cases (ii) and (iii) a non negligible reduction of both $p$ and $f$ splittings, associated to neutron--proton tensor effects, from $^{40}$Ca to $^{36}$S. The two splittings are further decreased for the three types of interactions, going from $^{36}$S to $^{34}$Si. This reduction is produced by the spin--orbit force and is not affected by tensor--induced contributions. For both reductions, from $^{40}$Ca to $^{36}$S and from $^{36}$S to $^{34}$Si, we predict in all cases that the modification is more pronounced for $p$ than for $f$ splittings. The measurement of the centroids for neutron $2p$ and $1f$ states in the nuclei $^{36}$S and $^{34}$Si would be interesting to validate this prediction experimentally. We show the importance of using interactions of type (iii), because they provide $p$ and $f$ splittings in the nucleus $^{40}$Ca which are in agreement with the corresponding experimental values.

Spin-orbit splitting is an essential ingredient for our understanding of the shell structure in nuclei. One of the most important advantages of relativistic mean-field (RMF) models in nuclear physics is the fact that the large spin-orbit (SO) potenti al emerges automatically from the inclusion of Lorentz-scalar and -vector potentials in the Dirac equation. It is therefore of great importance to compare the results of such models with experimental data. We investigate the size of $2p$ and $1f$ splittings for the isotone chain $^{40}$Ca, $^{38}$Ar, $^{36}$S, and $^{34}$Si in the framework of various relativistic and nonrelativistic density functionals. They are compared with the results of nonrelativistic models and with recent experimental data.
The latest experimental data on nuclei at $^{132}$Sn permit us for the first time to determine the spin-orbit splittings of neutrons and protons in identical orbits in this neutron-rich doubly-magic region and compare the case to that of $^{208}$Pb. Using the new results, which are now consistent for the two neutron-rich doubly magic regions, a theoretical analysis defines the isotopic dependence of the mean field spin-orbit potential and leads to a simple explicit expression for the difference between the spin-orbit splittings of neutrons and protons. The isotopic dependence is explained in the framework of different theoretical approaches.

We present a calculation of the wavevector-dependent subband level splitting from spin-orbit coupling in Si/SiGe quantum wells. We first use the effective-mass approach, where the splittings are parameterized by separating contributions from the Rash ba and Dresselhaus terms. We then determine the parameters by fitting tight-binding numerical results obtained using the quantitative nanoelectronic modeling tool, NEMO-3D. We describe the relevant parameters as a function of applied electric field and well width in our numerical simulations. For a silicon membrane, we find the bulk Rashba parameter to be linear in field, $alpha = alpha^1E_z$ with $alpha^1 simeq 2times$ 10 $^{-5}$nm$^{-2}$. The dominant contribution to the spin-orbit splitting is from Dresselhaus-type terms, and the magnitude for a typical flat SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum well can be as high as 1$mu$eV.
Shape coexistence is an ubiquitous phenomenon in the neutron-rich nuclei belonging to (or sitting at the shores of) the $N=20$ Island of Inversion (IoI). Exact isospin symmetry predicts the same behaviour for their mirrors and the existence of a prot on-rich IoI around $Z=20$, centred in the (surely unbound) nucleus $^{32}$Ca. In this article we show that in $^{36}$Ca and $^{36}$S, Coulomb effects break dramatically the mirror symmetry in the excitation energies, due to the different structures of the intruder and normal states. The Mirror Energy Difference (MED) of their 2$^+$ states is known to be very large at -246 keV. We reproduce this value and predict the first excited state in $^{36}$Ca to be a 0$^+$ at 2.7 MeV, 250 keV below the first 2$^+$. In its mirror $^{36}$S the 0$^+$ lies at 55 keV above the 2$^+$ measured at 3.291 MeV. Our calculations predict a huge MED of -720 keV, that we dub Colossal Mirror Energy Difference (CMED). A possible reaction mechanism to access the 0$^+_2$ in $^{36}$Ca will be discussed. In addition, we theoretically address the MEDs of the $A=34$ $T=3$ and $A=32$ $T=4$ mirrors.
Restoration of pseudo-spin symmetry (PSS) along the $N=32$ and $34$ isotonic chains and the physics behind are studied by applying the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory with effective Lagrangian PKA1. Taking the proton pseudo-spin partners $(pi2s_{1/2 },pi1d_{3/2})$ as candidates, systematic restoration of PSS along both isotonic chains is found from sulphur (S) to nickel (Ni), while distinct violation from silicon (Si) to sulphur is discovered near the drip lines. The effects of the tensor-force components introduced naturally by the Fock terms are investigated, which can only partly interpret the systematics from calcium to nickel, but fail for the overall trends. Further analysis following the Schr{o}dinger-like equation of the lower component of Dirac spinor shows that the contributions from the Hartree terms dominate the overall systematics of the PSS restoration, and such effects can be self-consistently interpreted by the evolution of the proton central density profiles along both isotonic chains. Specifically the distinct PSS violation is found to tightly relate with the dramatic changes from the bubble-like density profiles in silicon to the central-bumped ones in sulphur.
