Effect of Neutron Shells on Surface Tension in Atomic Nuclei

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Surface tension coefficients of even–even nuclei are estimated using a relation that includes rigidity with respect to root-mean-square deformation. The effect surface tension has on the neutron and proton distribution is discussed. A relationship between surface tension coefficients and the neutron skin effect is revealed.
