Surface corrections to the moment of inertia and shell structure in finite Fermi systems
arXiv:1510.03756 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.93.024304
Abstract
The moment of inertia for nuclear collective rotations is derived within a semiclassical approach based on the Inglis cranking and Strutinsky shell-correction methods, improved by surface corrections within the nonperturbative periodic-orbit theory. For adiabatic (statistical-equilibrium) rotations it was approximated by the generalized rigid-body moment of inertia accounting for the shell corrections of the particle density. An improved phase-space trace formula allows to express the shell components of the moment of inertia more accurately in terms of the free-energy shell correction. Evaluating their ratio within the extended Thomas-Fermi effective-surface approximation, one finds good agreement with the quantum calculations.
