Abstract:
The potential energy surfaces of even-even142—156Ba are investigated in the constrained reflection-asymmetric relativistic mean-field approach with parameter set PK1. It is shown that for the ground states,142Ba is near spherical,156Ba well quadrupole-deformed, and in between144-154Ba octupole deformed. In particular, the nuclei148,150Ba withN=92, 94 have the largest octupole deformations. By including the octupole degree of freedom, energy gapsN=88,N=94 andZ=56 near Fermi surfaces for the single-particle levels in148Ba with β2~0.26 and β3~0.17 are found. Furthermore, the performance of the octupole deformation driving pairs (ν2f7/2, ν1i13/2) and (π2d5/2, π1h11/2) is demonstrated by analyzing the single-particle levels near Fermi surfaces in148Ba.
