Description of Nb stellar electron-capture rates by the Projected Shell Model
Long-Jun Wang, Liang Tan, Zhipan Li +2
Capture of electrons by nuclei is an important process in stellar environments where excited nuclear states are thermally populated. However, accurate treatment for excited configu…
Sensitivity of Neutron-Rich Nuclear Isomer Behavior to Uncertainties in Direct Transitions
G. Wendell Misch, Trevor M. Sprouse, Matthew R. Mumpower +4
Nuclear isomers are populated in the rapid neutron capture process (r process) of nucleosynthesis. The r process may cover a wide range of temperatures, potentially starting from s…
Urca Cooling in Neutron Star Crusts and Oceans: Effects of Nuclear Excitations
Long-Jun Wang, Liang Tan, Zhipan Li +2
The excited-state structure of atomic nuclei can modify nuclear processes in stellar environments. In this work, we study the influence of nuclear excitations on Urca cooling (repe…
Astromers: Nuclear Isomers in Astrophysics
G. Wendell Misch, Surja K. Ghorui, Projjwal Banerjee +2
We develop a method to compute thermally-mediated transition rates between the ground state and long-lived isomers in nuclei. We also establish criteria delimiting a thermalization…
The Superconducting Critical Temperature
Mike Guidry, Yang Sun, Lian-Ao Wu
Two principles govern the critical temperature for superconducting transitions: (1)~intrinsic strength of the pair coupling and (2)~effect of the many-body environment on the effic…
Fermion dynamical symmetry and strongly-correlated electrons: a comprehensive model of high-temperature superconductivity
Mike Guidry, Yang Sun, Lian-Ao Wu +1
We review application of the SU(4) model of strongly-correlated electrons to cuprate and iron-based superconductors. A minimal self-consistent generalization of BCS theory to incor…
