We systematically study the effect of the nuclear symmetry energy in the basic properties of finite, neutron-rich, heavy nuclei where symmetry energy plays a dominant role. We employ a variational method, in the framework of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, to study the effect of the symmetry energy on the neutron skin thickness and symmetry energy coefficients of various nuclei. The isospin asymmetry function a(r) is directly related to the symmetry energy as a consequence of the variational principle. In addition to this, the Coulomb interaction is included in a self-consistent way. The energy density of the asymmetric nuclear matter that is used, has its origins in a momentum-dependent interaction.

This work illustrates the use of bootstrap methods to quantify the statistical uncertainties on the correlation coefficients between the slope of the symmetry energy and the neutron skin thickness in heavy nuclei. By using several energy density functionals, I discuss the density dependence of such a correlation and its evolution with isospin asymmetry. In particular, I observe that the correlation between the slope of the symmetry energy and the neutron skin is present not only at saturation density, but over a much larger density range.
