Toroidal, compressive, and $E1$ properties of low-energy dipole modes in ${}^{10}$Be

Abstract

We studied dipole excitations in ${}^{10}$Be based on an extended version of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics, which can describe 1p-1h excitations and large amplitude cluster modes. Toroidal and compressive dipole operators are found to be good proves to separate the low-energy and high-energy parts of the isoscalar dipole excitations, respectively. Two low-energy $1^{-}$ states, the toroidal dominant $1_1^{-}$ state at $E\sim 8$ MeV and the $E1$ dominant $1_2^{-}$ state at $E\sim 16$ MeV, were obtained. By analysis of transition current densities, the $1_1^{-}$ states is understood as a toroidal dipole mode with exotic toroidal neutron flow caused by rotation of a deformed ${}^6\text{He}$ cluster, whereas the $1_2^{-}$ state is regarded as a neutron-skin oscillation mode, which are characterized by surface neutron flow with inner isoscalar flow caused by the surface neutron oscillation against the $2\alpha$ core.
