Nuclear Shell Structure and Chaotic Dynamics in Hexadecapole Deformation
W. Dieter Heiss, Rashid G. Nazmitdinov, Stefanel Radu
The effect of an axially symmetric hexadecapole term is investigated in a strongly deformed quadrupole potential. While the system is nonintegrable and shows significant chaotic be…
Quantum Chaos, Degeneracies and Exceptional Points
W. Dieter Heiss, Stefanel Radu
It is argued that, if a regular Hamiltonian is perturbed by a term that produces chaos, the onset of chaos is shifted towards larger values of the perturbation parameter if the unp…
Shell Structures and Chaos in Deformed Nuclei and Large Metallic Clusters
W. Dieter Heiss, Rashid G. Nazmitdinov, Stefanel Radu
A reflection-asymmetric deformed oscillator potential is analysed from the classical and quantum mechanical point of view. The connection between occurrence of shell structures and…
Periodic Orbits and Shell Structure in Octupole Deformed Potentials
W. Dieter Heiss, Rashid G. Nazmitdinov, Stefanel Radu
The effect of an octupole term in a quadrupole deformed single particle potential is studied from the classical and quantum mechanical view point. Whereas the problem is nonintegra…
Chaos in Axially Symmetric Potentials with Octupole Deformation
W. Dieter Heiss, Rashid G. Nazmitdinov, Stefanel Radu
Classical and quantum mechanical results are reported for the single particle motion in a harmonic oscillator potential which is characterized by a quadrupole deformation and an ad…
