CHEM 418 Nuclear Chemistry, Winter 2017: Lecture 8 Nuclear Force, Structure, and 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. The lecture length is 53 minutes.  The lecture is assigned on Friday 27 January 2017 and the PDF quiz is due Wednesday 1 February 2017.

  1. For Quiz 8 Question #3, how can we do the last question "Which isotopes are likely non-spherical?" Can we say 95Zr is non-spherical since the spin value that from the shell model is different with theoretical spin?
