Using HF+BCS method we study light nuclei with nuclear charge in the range $2 leq Z leq 8$ and lying near the neutron drip line. The HF method uses effective Skyrme forces and allows for axial deformations. We find that the neutron drip line forms stability peninsulas at $^{18}$He and $^{40}$C. These isotopes are found to be stable against one neutron emission and possess the highest known neutron to proton ratio in stable nuclei.

We systematically determine ground-state and saddle-point shapes and masses for 1305 heavy and superheavy nuclei with $Z=98-126$ and $N=134-192$, including odd-$A$ and odd-odd systems. From these, we derive static fission barrier heights, one- and tw o-nucleon separation energies, and $Q_alpha$ values for g.s. to g.s transitions. Our study is performed within the microscopic-macroscopic method with the deformed Woods-Saxon single-particle potential and the Yukawa-plus-exponential macroscopic energy taken as the smooth part. We use parameters of the model that were fitted previously to masses of even-even heavy nuclei. For systems with odd numbers of protons, neutrons, or both, we use a standard BCS method with blocking. Ground-state shapes and energies are found by the minimization over seven axially-symmetric deformations. A search for saddle-points was performed by using the imaginary water flow method in three consecutive stages, using five- (for nonaxial shapes) and seven-dimensional (for reflection-asymmetric shapes) deformation spaces. The results are collected in two main tables. Calculated ground-state mass excess, nucleon separation- and $Q_alpha$ energies, total, macroscopic(normalized to the macroscopic energy at the spherical shape) and shell corrections energies, and deformations are given for each nucleus in mbox{Table 1}. mbox{Table 2} contains calculated properties of the saddle-point configurations and the fission barrier heights. In mbox{Tables 3-7}, are given calculated ground-state, inner and outer saddle-point and superdeformed secondary minima characteristics for 75 actinide nuclei, from Ac to Cf, for which experimental estimates of fission barrier heights are known. These results are an additional test of our model.
Transfermium nuclei (101$leq$Z$leq$110) are investigated thoroughly to describe structural properties viz. deformation, radii, shapes, magicity, etc. as well as their probable decay chains. These properties are explored using relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach and compared with other theories along with available experimental data. Neutron numbers N$=$152 and 162 have come forth with a deformed shell gap whereas N$=$184 is ensured as a spherical magic number. The region with N$>$168 bears witness of the phenomenon of shape transition and shape coexistence for all the considered isotopic chains. Experimental $alpha$-decay half-lives are compared with our theoretical half-lives obtained by using various empirical/semi-empirical formulas. The recent formula proposed by Manjunatha textit{et al.}, which results best among the considered 10 formulas, is further modified by adding asymmetry dependent terms ($I$ and $I^2$). This modified Manjunatha formula is utilized to predict probable $alpha$-decay chains that are found in excellent agreement with available experimental data.
In this work, we identify a unique and novel feature of central density depletion in both proton and neutron named as doubly bubble nuclei in 50$leq$Z(N)$leq$82 region. The major role of 2d-3s single-particle (s.p.) states in the existence of halo an d bubble nuclei is probed. The occupancy in s.p. state 3s$_{1/2}$ leads to the extended neutron density distribution or halo while the unoccupancy results in the central density depletion. By employing the Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) approach along with NL3* parameter, the separation energies, single-particle energies, pairing energies, proton, and neutron density profiles along with deformations of even-even nuclei are investigated. Our results are in concise with few other theories and available experimental data. Emergence on new shell closure and the magicity of conventional shell closures are explored systematically in this yet unknown region.
The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ASPECS) Band 6 scan (212-272 GHz) covers potential [CII] emission in galaxies at $6leq z leq8$ throughout a 2.9 arcmin$^2$ area. By selecting on known Lyman-$alpha$ emitters (LAEs) and pho tometric dropout galaxies in the field, we perform targeted searches down to a 5$sigma$ [CII] luminosity depth $L_{mathrm{[CII]}}sim2.0times10^8$ L$_{odot}$, corresponding roughly to star formation rates (SFRs) of $10$-$20$ M$_{odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ when applying a locally calibrated conversion for star-forming galaxies, yielding zero detections. While the majority of galaxies in this sample are characterized by lower SFRs, the resulting upper limits on [CII] luminosity in these sources are consistent with the current literature sample of targeted ALMA observations of $z=6$-$7$ LAEs and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), as well as the locally calibrated relations between $L_{mathrm{[CII]}}$ and SFR -- with the exception of a single [CII]-deficient, UV luminous LBG. We also perform a blind search for [CII]-bright galaxies that may have been missed by optical selections, resulting in an upper limit on the cumulative number density of [CII] sources with $L_{mathrm{[CII]}}>2.0times10^8$ L$_{odot}$ ($5sigma $) to be less than $1.8times10^{-4}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ (90% confidence level). At this luminosity depth and volume coverage, we present an observed evolution of the [CII] luminosity function from $z=6$-$8$ to $zsim0$ by comparing the ASPECS measurement to literature results at lower redshift.
Polycrystalline members of the GaV$_4$S$_{8-y}$Se$_y$ family of materials with small levels of substitution between $0 leq y leq 0.5$ and $7.5 leq yleq 8$ have been synthesized in order to investigate their magnetic and structural properties. Substit utions to the skyrmion hosting parent compounds GaV$_4$S$_8$ and GaV$_4$Se$_8$, are found to suppress the temperature of the cubic to rhombohedral structural phase transition that occurs in both end compounds and to create a temperature region around the transition where there is a coexistence of these two phases. Similarly, the magnitude of the magnetization and temperature of the magnetic transition are both suppressed in all substituted compounds until a glassy-like magnetic state is realized. There is evidence from the $ac$ susceptibility data that skyrmion lattices with similar dynamics to those in GaV$_4$S$_8$ and GaV$_4$Se$_8$ are present in compounds with very low levels of substitution, $0 < y< 0.2$ and $7.8 < y < 8$, however, these states vanish at higher levels of substitution. The magnetic properties of these substituted materials are affected by the substitution altering exchange pathways and resulting in the creation of increasingly disordered magnetic states.
