Toroidal high-spin isomers in light nuclei with N not equal to Z

Abstract

The combined considerations of both the bulk liquid-drop-type behavior and the quantized aligned rotation with cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach revealed previously [Phys. Lett. B 738 (2014) 401] that even-even, N=Z, toroidal high-spin isomeric states have general occurrences for light nuclei with A between 28 and 52. We find that in this mass region there are in addition N not equal to Z toroidal high-spin isomers when the single-particle shells for neutrons and protons occur at the same cranked frequency $\hslash \omega$. Examples of N not equal to Z toroidal high-spin isomers, ${}_{16}^{36}$S${}_{20}$($I$=74$\hslash$) and ${}_{18}^{40}$Ar${}_{22}$($I$=80,102$\hslash$), are located and examined. The systematic properties of these N not equal to Z toroidal high-spin isomers fall into the same regular (muti-particle)-(muti-hole) patterns as other N=Z toroidal high-spin isomers.
