Description
The energy density functional method provides a systematic approach to analyzing nuclear properties across the entire nuclear chart. We have performed calculations for nuclei from the proton drip line to the neutron drip line, including superheavy nuclei. Using the HFBTHO program (Axially deformed solution of the Skyrme-Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov equations using the transformed harmonic oscillator basis (II)), we investigate the effect of Coulomb interaction on the deformation of even-even nuclei and the position of the drip lines. The results show that Coulomb interaction enhances nuclear deformation and extends the neutron drip line toward the neutron-rich side. Notably, we find that the Coulomb interaction provides additional binding energy to nuclei near the neutron drip line, attributed to a change in the single-particle energy of neutrons. We will present an analysis of this mechanism from a quantum mechanical perspective.
