Encouraged by the evidence for Z = 6 magic number in neutron-rich carbon isotopes, we have performed relativistic mean-field plus BCS calculations to investigate ground state properties of entire chains of isotopes (isotones) with Z (N) = 6 including even and odd mass nuclei. Our calculations include deformation, binding energy, separation energy, single particle energy, root mean squared radii, along with charge and neutron density profile, etc., and are found to be an excellent match with latest experimental results demonstrating Z = 6 as a strong magic number. N = 6 is also found to have a similar kind of strong magic character.

We study the interaction of Λ-hyperon with proton and neutron inside a nucleus within the framework of relativistic mean field (RMF) formalism. The single-particle energy levels for some of the specific proton and neutron orbits are analyzed with the addition of Λ-successively. The neutron energy level is more deeper, because of decrease in symmetry energy due to substitution of neutron by Λ-hyperon.

Inspired by recent experimental studies of two-proton radioactivity in the light-medium mass region, we have employed relativistic mean-field plus state-dependent BCS approach (RMF+BCS) to study the ground state properties of selected even-Z nuclei in the region 20 ≤ Z ≤ 40. It is found that the effective potential barrier provided by the Coulomb interaction and that due to centrifugal force may cause a long delay in the decay of some of the nuclei even with small negative proton separation energy. This may cause the existence of proton-rich nuclei beyond the proton drip-line. Nuclei 38 Ti , 42 Cr , 45 Fe , 48 Ni , 55 Zn , 60 Ge , 63, 64 Se , 68 Kr , 72 Sr and 76 Zr are found to be the potential candidates for exhibiting two-proton radioactivity in the region 20 ≤ Z ≤ 40. The reliability of these predictions is further strengthened by the agreement of the calculated results for the ground state properties such as binding energy, one- and two-proton separation energy, proton and neutron radii, and deformation with the available experimental data for the entire chain of the isotopes of the nuclei in the region 20 ≤ Z ≤ 40.

We analyze the effects of δ–meson on hypernuclei within the framework of relativistic mean field theory. The δ–meson is included into the Lagrangian for hypernuclei. The extra nucleon–meson coupling (gδ) affects every piece of physical observables, like binding energy, radii and single-particle energies of hypernuclei. Magnitude of effects in hypernuclei is found to be relatively less than their normal nuclei because of the presence of Λ hyperon. Flipping of single-particle energy levels are observed with the strength of gδ in the considered hypernuclei as well as normal nuclei. The spin-orbit potentials are observed for considered hypernuclei and the effect of gδ on spin-orbit potentials is also analyzed. The calculated Λ binding energy (BΛ) are quite agreeable with experimental data. The sensitivity of BΛ for s- and p- orbitals with the strength of gδ is also analyzed. Lambda mean potential is investigated which is found to be consistent with other predictions.

A new α-emitting has been observed experimentally for neutron deficient 214U which opens the window to theoretically investigate the ground state properties of 214,216,218U isotopes and to examine α-particle clustering around the shell closure. The decay half-lives are calculated within the preformed cluster-decay model (PCM). To obtain the α-daughter interaction potential, the RMF densities are folded with the newly developed R3Y and the well-known M3Y NN potentials for comparison. The alpha preformation probability (Pα) is calculated from the analytic formula of Deng and Zhang. The WKB approximation is employed for the calculation of the transmission probability. The individual binding energies (BE) for the participating nuclei are estimated from the relativistic mean-field (RMF) formalism and those from the finite range droplet model (FRDM) as well as WS3 mass tables. In addition to Z=84, the so-called abnormal enhancement region, i.e., 84≤Z≤90 and N<126, is normalised by an appropriately fitted neck-parameter ΔR. On the other hand, the discrepancy sets in due to the shell effect at (and around) the proton magic number Z=82 and 84, and thus a higher scaling factor ranging from 10−5–10−8 is required. Additionally, in contrast with the experimental binding energy data, large deviations of about 5–10 MeV are evident in the RMF formalism despite the use of different parameter sets. An accurate prediction of α-decay half-lives requires a Q-value that is in proximity with the experimental data. In addition, other microscopic frameworks besides RMF could be more reliable for the mass region under study. α-particle clustering is largely influenced by the shell effect.

The ground state energies, sizes and deformations of 1897 even–even nuclei with 10≤Z ≤110 have been carried out by using the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) model. In the present calculations, the nonlinear RMF force NL3* recent refitted version of the NL3 force has been used. The BCS (Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer) formalism with constant gap approximation has been taken into account for pairing correlations. The predictions of RMF model for the ground state properties of some nuclei have been discussed in detail.

The microscopic properties and superfluidity of the inner crust in neutron stars are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean field(RMF) model and BCS theory. The Wigner-Seitz(W-S) cell of inner crust is composed of neutron-rich nuclei immersed in a sea of dilute, homogeneous neutron gas. The pairing properties of nucleons in the W-S cells are treated in BCS theory with Gogny interaction. In this work, we emphasize on the choice of the boundary conditions in the RMF approach and superfluidity of the inner crust. Three kinds of boundary conditions are suggested. The properties of the W-S cells with the three kinds of boundary conditions are investigated. The neutron density distributions in the RMF and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) models are compared.

We employ the relativistic mean-field plus BCS (RMF+BCS) approach to study the behavior of [Formula: see text]-shell by investigating in detail the single particle energies, and proton and neutron density profiles along with the deformations and radii of even–even nuclei. Emergence of new shell closure, weakly bound structure and most recent phenomenon of bubble structure are reported in the [Formula: see text]-shell. [Formula: see text]C, [Formula: see text]O and [Formula: see text]S are found to have a weakly bound structure due to particle occupancy in 2[Formula: see text] state. On the other hand [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]Ca and [Formula: see text]Si are found with depleted central density due to the unoccupied 2[Formula: see text] state and hence they are the potential candidates of bubble structure. [Formula: see text]C and [Formula: see text]O emerge as doubly magic with [Formula: see text] in accord with the recent experiments and [Formula: see text]S emerges as a new proton magic nucleus with [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are predicted as magic numbers in doubly magic [Formula: see text]O, [Formula: see text]Ca and [Formula: see text]Si, respectively. These results are found in agreement with the recent experiments and have consistent with the other parameters of RMF and other theories.

In the relativistic mean field (RMF) calculations usually the basis expansion method is employed. For this one uses single harmonic oscillator (HO) basis functions. A proper description of the ground state nuclear properties of spherical nuclei requires a large (around 20) number of major oscillator shells in the expansion. In halo nuclei where the nucleons have extended spatial distributions, the use of single HO basis for the expansion is inadequate for the correct description of the nuclear properties, especially that of the surface region. In order to rectify these inadequacies, in the present work an orthonormal basis composed of two HO basis functions having different sizes is proposed. It has been shown that for a typical case of (A=11) the ground state constructed using two-HO wave functions extends much beyond the second state or even third excited state of the single HO wave function. To demonstrate its usefulness explicit numerical RMF calculations have been carried out using this procedure for a set of representative spherical nuclei ranging from 16 O to 208 Pb . The binding energies, charge radii and density distributions have been correctly reproduced in the present scheme using a much smaller number of major shells (around 10) in the expansion.
