The neutron drop is firstly investigated in an axially symmetric harmonic oscillator (ASHO) field, whose potential strengths of different directions can be controlled artificially. The shape of the neutron drop will change from spherical to oblate or prolate according to the anisotropy of the external field. With the potential strength increasing in the axial direction, the neutron prefers to occupy the orbital perpendicular to the symmetry axis. On the contrary, the neutron likes to stay in the orbital parallel to the symmetry axis when the potential strength increases in the radial direction. Meanwhile, when the potential strength of one direction disappears, the neutron drop cannot bind together. These investigations are not only helpful to simulate the properties of neutrons in finite nuclei but also provide the theoretical predictions to the future artificial operations on the nuclei like the ultracold atom system, for a deeper realization of quantum many-body systems.

There is an increasing theoretical and observational evidence that the external magnetic field of magnetars may contain a toroidal component, likely of the same order of the poloidal one. Such twisted magnetospheres are threaded by currents flowing a long the closed field lines which can efficiently interact with soft thermal photons via resonant cyclotron scatterings (RCS). Actually, RCS spectral models proved quite successful in explaining the persistent ~1-10 keV emission from the magnetar candidates, the soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). Moreover, it has been proposed that, in presence of highly relativistic electrons, the same process can give rise to the observed hard X-ray spectral tails extending up to ~200 keV. Spectral calculations have been restricted up to now to the case of a globally twisted dipolar magnetosphere, although there are indications that the twist may be confined only to a portion of the magnetosphere, and/or that the large scale field is more complex than a simple dipole. In this paper we investigate multipolar, force-free magnetospheres of ultra-magnetized neutron stars. We first discuss a general method to generate multipolar solutions of the Grad- Schluter-Shafranov equation, and analyze in detail dipolar, quadrupolar and octupolar fields. The spectra and lightcurves for these multipolar, globally twisted fields are then computed using a Monte Carlo code and compared with those of a purely dipolar configuration. Finally the phase-resolved spectra and energy-dependent lightcurves obtained with a simple model of a locally sheared field are confronted with the INTEGRAL observations of the AXPs 1RXS J1708-4009 and 4U 0142+61. Results support a picture in which the field in these two sources is not globally twisted.

The nuclear binding energies for 28 nuclei including several isotopic chains with masses ranging from A=64 to A=226 were evaluated using the Skyrme effective nucleon-nucleon interaction and the Extended Thomas-Fermi approximation. The neutron and pro ton density distributions are assumed in the form of Fermi functions the parameters of which are determined so as to minimize the total binding energy of any given nucleus. The present study is restricted to quadrupole shapes, but the neutron and proton density distributions are free to have different deformations. A simple expression for the variation of the nuclear energy with the neutron--proton deformation difference is derived.
Nucleon momentum distribution (NMD), particularly its high-momentum components, is essential for understanding the nucleon--nucleon ($ NN $) correlations in nuclei. Herein, we develop the studies of NMD of $^{56}text{Fe}$ from the axially deformed re lativistic mean-field (RMF) model. Moreover, we introduce the effects of $ NN $ correlation into the RMF model from phenomenological models based on deuteron and nuclear matter. For the region $ k<k_{text{F}} $, the effects of deformation on the NMD of the RMF model are investigated using the total and single-particle NMDs. For the region $ k>k_{text{F}} $, the high-momentum components of the RMF model are modified by the effects of $ NN $ correlation, which agree with the experimental data. Comparing the NMD of relativistic and non-relativistic mean-field models, the relativistic effects on nuclear structures in momentum space are analyzed. Finally, by analogizing the tensor correlations in deuteron and Jastrow-type correlations in nuclear matter, the behaviors and contributions of $ NN $ correlations in $^{56}text{Fe}$ are further analyzed, which helps clarify the effects of the tensor force on the NMD of heavy nuclei.

We use the finite amplitude method (FAM), an efficient implementation of the quasiparticle random phase approximation, to compute beta-decay rates with Skyrme energy-density functionals for 3983 nuclei, essentially all the medium-mass and heavy isoto pes on the neutron rich side of stability. We employ an extension of the FAM that treats odd-mass and odd-odd nuclear ground states in the equal filling approximation. Our rates are in reasonable agreement both with experimental data where available and with rates from other global calculations.
The location of the neutron drip line, currently known for only the lightest elements, remains a fundamental question in nuclear physics. Its description is a challenge for microscopic nuclear energy density functionals, as it must take into account in a realistic way not only the nuclear potential, but also pairing correlations, deformation effects and coupling to the continuum. The recently developed deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) aims to provide a unified description of even-even nuclei throughout the nuclear chart. Here, the DRHBc with the successful density functional PC-PK1 is used to investigate whether and how deformation influences the prediction for the neutron drip-line location for even-even nuclei with 8<=Z<=20, where many isotopes are predicted deformed. The results are compared with those based on the spherical relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory and discussed in terms of shape evolution and the variational principle. It is found that the Ne and Ar drip-line nuclei are different after the deformation effect is included. The direction of the change is not necessarily towards an extended drip line, but rather depends on the evolution of the degree of deformation towards the drip line. Deformation effects as well as pairing and continuum effects treated in a consistent way can affect critically the theoretical description of the neutron drip-line location.
