Study of nuclear structure of 58,62Ni isotopes using the F5PVH effective interaction

Abstract

The nuclear structure of 58,62Ni nuclei has been calculated using F5PVH as effective interaction for 1f5/2 2p3/2 2p1/2 shell model wave functions. Skyrme-Hartree Fock (SKX), Harmonic Oscillator (HO) and Woods-Saxon (WS) potentials were used to calculate the single particle wave function. The core-polarisation effects have been adopted using the shape of Tassie model. The level schemes are compared with the experimental data up to 3.42 MeV and 4.018 MeV for 58Ni and 62Ni, respectively. In this study, very good agreements are obtained for all nuclei. Results from C2 form factor and Charge Density Distribution (CDD) calculations give good agreement with the experimental data with no adjustable parameters.
