Single Particle Schrödinger Fluid and Moments of Inertia of the Even- Even Uranium Isotopes

ABSTRACT

We have applied the concept of the single-particle Schrödinger fluid to calculate the reciprocal values of the rigid body-model, the cranking-model, and the equilibrium-model moments of inertia of the axially-symmetric deformed nuclei as functions of the deformation parameter β, and the non deformed oscillator parameter ђω₀⁰ . As examples for the application of this concept to the heavier deformed even-even nuclei the uranium isotopes ²³⁰U, ²³²U, ²³⁴U, ²³⁶U and ²³⁸U have been chosen. The obtained results showed that the assumption that these nuclei have axes of symmetry is more reliable.
