ABSTRACTMultiply charged metal clusters undergo fission at a certain size. This critical size can be predicted by the liquid drop model when some modifications are taken into consideration. In this work we revise the asymmetric liquid drop model (ALD) and modify it for the alkali metals. This modification addresses those fragmentation channels in which a parent cluster with charge Ze fissions into two fragments. One of the fragments is small and singly charged whereas the second fragment is large and carries the rest of the charge. A different energetic balance equation is presented in which the ionization energy of a single atom and the energy of formation of a small cluster are included. Results and comparison to experiments is provided for Na and Cs clusters. Prediction of the critical size of Na and Cs clusters with Ze>7 is part of the discussion.

AbstractWe revisit the liquid drop model with a general Riesz potential. Our new result is the existence of minimizers for the conjectured optimal range of parameters. We also prove a conditional uniqueness of minimizers and a nonexistence result for heavy nuclei.

Abstract Neutron stars are superdense compact astrophysical objects. The central region of the neuron star (the core) consists of locally homogeneous nuclear matter, while in the outer region (the crust) nucleons are clustered. In the outer crust these nuclear clusters represent neutron-rich atomic nuclei and all nucleons are bound within them. Whereas in the inner crust some neutrons are unbound, but nuclear clusters still keeps generally spherical shape. Here we consider the region between the crust and the core of the star, so-called mantle, where non-spherical nuclear clusters may exist. We apply compressible liquid drop model to calculate the energy density for several shape types of nuclear clusters. It allows us to identify the most energetically favorable configuration as function of baryon number density. Employing four Skyrme-type forces (SLy4 and BSk24, BSk25, BSk26), which are widely used in the neutron star physics, we faced with strong model dependence of the ground state composition. In particular, in agreement with previous works within liquid drop model, mantle is absent for SLy4 (nuclear spheres directly transit into homogeneous nuclear matter; exotic nuclear shapes do not appear).
