Quadrupole moments of odd-odd near-magic nuclei

Abstract

Ground state quadrupole moments of odd-odd near-double-magic nuclei are calculated in the approximation of non-interacting odd neutron and odd proton. Under such a simple approximation the problem is reduced to the calculations of quadrupole moments of corresponding odd-even nuclei. These calculations are performed within the self-consistent Theory of Finite Fermi Systems based on the Energy Density Functional by Fayans et al. with the known DF3-a parameters. A reasonable agreement with the available experimental data is obtained for odd-odd nuclei and odd near-magic nuclei investigated. The self-consistent approach under consideration allowed us to predict the unknown quadrupole moments of odd-even and odd-odd nuclei near the double-magic 56,78Ni, 100,132Sn nuclides.
