CHEM 418 Nuclear Chemistry, Winter 2016: Lecture 8 Nuclear force and nuclear models

This lecture provides information on nuclear force and nuclear models. The strong force is introduced through isospin. A comparison of exchange particles is provided. The use of mirror nuclei to examine the strong force is presented. An overview of nuclear potentials is provided and used to discuss the shell model. States of the shell model and their relationship to magic numbers are discussed. Use of the shell model is determine nuclide spin and parity is presented. The relationship between spin and parity with nuclear deformation is introduced with Nilsson diagrams. Additional information on Nilsson diagrams can be found in the Table of the Isotopes. An introduction of the Fermi model for energetic nuclei is given.

    It is really nice to have a lot of examples to explain the shell model.

  3. Quiz 8 sent through email, but I was not sure about the parity and spin for 94zr since spin=( 7÷2 - 1÷2)=3 (7÷2 =neutron j value and 1÷2 is proton j value.

    I noticed that the spins and parities predicted by the shell model in question three didn't match up with some of the reported spins and parities in the chart of the nuclides. Sr 89, for example, is 5/2+, but I found that it was 7/2+. Is this supposed to be the case, or am I filling orbitals incorrectly?

    1. I agree with this, sometimes the Shell Model doesn't always work. Thats my theory.
