Isovector spin susceptibility: Isotopic evolution of collectivity in spin response

Abstract

Background: Response to spin-dependent operators has been investigated in the magnetic dipole and Gamow-Teller transitions, which provides magnetic properties of a nuclear system. Purpose: I investigate an isotopic dependence of the collectivity generated by the spin-dependent interactions in the Ca and Ni isotopes through the isovector (IV) spin-flip excitations. The responses in the neutral $(t_z)$ and charge-exchange $(t_{\pm })$ channels are considered in a unified way. Method: A nuclear energy-density functional approach is employed for calculating the response functions based on the Skyrme-Kohn-Sham-Bogoliubov method and the quasiparticle-random-phase approximation (QRPA). I adopt the like-particle QRPA and the proton-neutron QRPA for the neutral and charge-exchange channels, respectively. I consider the fluctuation of the proton-neutron pair fields. Results: The collective shift due to RPA correlations for the response in the neutral channel is explained by the occupation probability of neutrons in the $j_{>}=\ell +1/2$ orbital. Many particle-hole or two-quasiparticle excitations have a coherent contribution to form a giant resonance in neutron-rich nuclei for the charge-exchange channel. The IV spin susceptibility displays the isotopic evolution of the collectivity and the underlying shell structure. Conclusions: A repulsive character of the residual interaction in the spin-isospin channel diminishes the IV spin susceptibility due to the collectivity, while the dynamic ${}^{3}S$ pairing appearing in the charge-exchange channel opposes the reduction.
