INTRODUCTION The RMF theory has recently enjoyed considerable success in describing various facets of nuclear-structure properties. With a very limited number of parameters, this theory is able to give a quantitative description of the ground-state properties of spherical and deformed nuclei at and away from the line of b stability [10, 11]. It has been shown that the anomalous kink in the isotope shifts of Pb nuclei and the anomalous isotopic shifts in the Sr and Kr chains can be explained by the RMF microscopic calculations [12, 13]. Such anomalous behavior is a generic feature of almost all isotopic chains in the rare-earth region [14]. Good agreement with experimental data has been found recently also for collective excitations such as giant resonances [15, 16] and for twin bands in rotating superdeformed nuclei [17]. Similarly, good descriptions of the superdeformed rotational bands in the A 5 140–150 region and in the rare-earth region have been provided by the cranked RMF calculations [18 –20]. Very recently it has also been shown that constrained RMF calculations reproduce the excitation energies of superdeformed minima relative to the ground state in 194Hg and 194Pb [21] very well. In the RMF theory, the saturation and the density dependence of the nuclear interaction are obtained by a balance between a large, attractive, scalar s-meson field and a large, repulsive, vector v-meson field. The asymmetry component is provided by the isovector rW meson. The nuclear interaction is, hence, generated by the exchange of various mesons between nucleons in the framework of the mean field. The spin– orbit interaction arises naturally in the RMF theory as a result of the Dirac structure of nucleons.

The development of theoretical models that are able to successfully reproduce and predict the ground-state properties and other properties of finite nuclei throughout the periodic table is of great importance in nuclear-structure studies. A good description of the properties of known nuclei also gives us more confidence in extrapolating to the yet unexplored areas of the nuclear chart. Of course, these extrapolations are based upon the respective ansatz of a model which is usually obtained by fits to the sets of available nuclear properties near the b-stability line. There exist several such theoretical models in the literature. Chief among these are the various mass models [1]. The FiniteRange Droplet Model (FRDM) [2, 3] and the Extended Thomas–Fermi with Strutinsky Integral Model (ETFSI) [4] are two of the currently best-known mass models. In both cases, attempts have been made to obtain the best possible description of nuclear masses and deformation properties. Fully self-consistent calculations within the meanfield theory with suitable relativistic or nonrelativistic effective interactions are a preferred alternative approach. However, the computation time required for such calculations, especially for the number of nuclei approaching the scopes of the above-mentioned mass models, is huge. Therefore, one has to limit these calculations to a smaller number and, at the same time, exploit those symmetries of the mean field that can reduce the computation time. Recently, deformed Hartree–Fock (HF) 1 Bardeen–Cooper– Schrieffer (BCS) calculations with the Skyrme SIII force [5] have been reported for the ground-state properties of 1029 even– even nuclei [6]. This work [6] is the first such extensive calculation within the nonrelativistic mean-field approach. The purpose of the present work is to provide the first systematic study of the ground-state properties of even– even nuclei over a very wide range of isospin within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory [7–9].

Relativistic Mean-Field Theory In the RMF theory, the nucleons are described as relativistic particles moving independently in average po2

Expressed in terms of the Pauli spin matrices, this Dirac equation reads

tentials determined in a self-consistent way by the exchange of mesons. The relativistic single-particle equation is the Dirac equation. In contrast to the nonrelativistic Schro¨dinger equation, which contains one average potential represented usually by a Saxon–Woods shape and an independently fitted spin– orbit potential represented as the derivative of a Saxon–Woods shape, the Lorentz structure of the Dirac equation allows in principle several types of fields:

The single-particle wave functions c i are four-dimensional spinors, which describe stationary states of the nucleons with index i and single-particle energy e i . By summing over the occupied orbitals, we can use these wave functions to calculate two types of densities, (i) the usual density

(a) The vector field (V 0 (r), V(r)), which is fourdimensional in space-time and which behaves like a fourvector under Lorentz transformations, is similar in structure to the electromagnetic potentials ( A 0 (r), A(r)) of Maxwell, well known from the Dirac equation in atomic physics. This vector field contains a time-like component V 0 (r), which corresponds to the Coulomb field A 0 (r), and three spacelike components V(r), which are equivalent to the magnetic potential A(r) in electrodynamics. Assuming time-reversal invariance, we can neglect currents and the corresponding space-like parts V(r). We are then left with the time-like part V(r) (for simplicity we neglect the index 0 henceforth). The Lorentz structure of the theory implies that this timelike part of the vector fields is repulsive. As we will see, the essential part of this field is determined by the short-range repulsion of the nucleon–nucleon interaction caused by the exchange of vector mesons. (b) In addition to the vector fields, familiar from atomic physics, the Dirac equation in nuclear physics allows a scalar field S(r), which behaves like the rest mass and stays invariant under Lorentz transformations. The Lorentz structure of the theory requires scalar fields to be attractive. Hence, the scalar field can simulate economically the attractive part of the nucleon–nucleon interaction at intermediate distances. On a more basic level, the attraction is caused in large part by correlated two-pion exchange and by two-pion exchange with a D-particle in the intermediate state. Both processes lead to a parity-conserving mean field, which is simulated by the scalar field. In principle, the Lorentz structure could allow a pseudoscalar field originated by the one-pion exchange. However, this part has to vanish, because it is well known that the nuclear mean field is parity-conserving. Therefore, the pion contributes on the Hartree level only via the two-pion exchange.

In the no-sea approximation [8], these sums do not include the negative-energy solutions of Eq. (2). The fields V(r) and S(r) are obtained by averaging over the interactions induced by the exchange of vector and scalar mesons with the corresponding densities V~r! 5

The two-body interactions v v(r, r9) and v s (r, r9) are of the Yukawa type. They correspond to the exchange of scalar mesons s (isoscalar) and vector mesons v (isoscalar) and rW (isovector), where the fields are defined as S~r! 5 g s s ~r!,

Neglecting nuclear magnetism (that is, assuming timereversal invariance of the mean field), we then have a stationary Dirac equation containing only the time-like part of the vector field V and the scalar potential S: $ a p 1 V~r! 1 b @m 1 S~r!#% c i 5 e i c i .

If we want to calculate only the ground-state properties of nuclei, why is it necessary to use a relativistic formulation? In fact, the kinetic energies and the Fermi momenta are relatively small compared to the rest mass of the nucleons. Therefore, relativistic kinematics can be neglected. However, the Dirac equation contains more. In contrast to an equivalent Schro¨dinger equation with a potential of depth ;50 MeV, which is also small compared to the nucleon rest mass of 938 MeV, the Dirac equation contains two potentials V(r) and S(r), which are both large (;350 and ;400 MeV), opposite in sign, and nonnegligible compared to the nucleon rest mass. Therefore, one needs relativistic dynamics to describe the interplay of these two strong potentials properly. From Eq. (2), we see that in the upper equation for the large components, only the difference between the absolute values of V and S enters, which is, in fact, small compared to the nucleon rest mass. In the lower equation for the small components, however, the large sum of both potentials, uVu 1 uSu, enters. This term cannot be neglected, and its introduction leads to the strong spin– orbit term in nuclear physics. In fact, it is the advantage of the RMF theory that the strength and the shape of the spin– orbit term are determined in a fully self-consistent way. Because the proper size of the spin– orbit splitting plays a crucial role in understanding the basic properties of nuclei, it follows that a proper treatment of the relativistic dynamics is warranted as is done in the RMF theory. Another example for the importance of relativistic dynamics is the fact that the near equality (but opposite sign) of V and S leads to approximate pseudospin symmetry in nuclear spectra [23]. Finally, we emphasize the fact that the smallness of V 1 S leads to relatively small Fermi momenta and allows, in principle, a nonrelativistic reduction of the Dirac equation to a Schro¨dinger equation with momentum-dependent potentials. Therefore, a nonrelativistic theory with additional spin- and momentum-dependent terms and adjustable parameters can also provide a reliable description of nuclei. However, in general, such a theory requires more parameters, and its predictive power is probably reduced as compared to that of a fully relativistic theory.

Using the experimental masses m, m v , and m r for the nucleons and the v and r mesons, we are left with only four parameters, m s , g s , g v , and g r , which are adjusted to the experimental data in a few spherical nuclei. It was recognized quite early that this simple model is not flexible enough to describe quantitatively the properties of real nuclei. An effective density dependence was introduced [22] in replacing the quadratic s-potential 21m s2 s 2 in the Lagrangian by a quartic potential U( s ) including a nonlinear s self-interaction U~ s ! 5

deformation b 0 is determined for each nucleus in such a way that the resulting mass quadrupole moment Q of the nucleus is given by Q 5 =16 p /5 (3/4 p ) AR 02 b 0 with R 0 5 1.2 A 1/3 . Both proton and neutron pairing correlations have been included using the BCS formalism with constant pairing gaps obtained from the prescription of Ref. [25]. The zero-point energy of the harmonic oscillator has been used for the center-of-mass energy correction. Angular momentum and particle number projection as well as the ground-state correlations induced by the coupling to collective vibrations have been neglected. It is, however, expected that these additional corrections will have only small contributions, and the aim is to describe the ground-state properties of nuclei within the realm of the pure mean field. The effective force NL3 has been adopted for the calculations using a new version of the “axially deformed” code [26]. The parameter set NL3 has been derived recently [27] by fitting ground-state properties of 10 spherical nuclei. Properties predicted with the NL3 effective interaction are found to be in good agreement with experimental data for nuclei at and away from the line of b stability. In Table A, the parameters of the effective force NL3 are given. In the

However, for very heavy nuclei, contributions from higher oscillator shells may not be negligible. Therefore, a larger number of fermionic shells have been used as necessary, checking each time for the correct convergence. The charge radius is calculated using the formula r c 5 Îr 2p 1 0.64

The quadrupole deformation parameter b 2 and the hexadecapole deformation parameter b 4 are obtained in such a way that sharp-edged densities with these deformations have the same multipole moments as our selfconsistent solutions. This is accomplished by solving a system of two nonlinear equations, as described in Appendix B of Ref. [28].

energies are in overall agreement with the empirical data [29], the disagreement amounts to typically 0.5%. (The root-mean-square deviation between calculation and experiment [29] is 2.6 MeV.) Only for some nuclei with N ; Z does the difference appear to be somewhat larger—about 1–2% for some chains. This discrepancy might indicate that for these nuclei additional correlations should be taken into account. In particular, proton– neutron pairing could have a strong influence on the masses [30]. The nuclear radii and deformation parameters also compare well with the available experimental values [31–33]. As an illustration, the RMF predictions for some rare-earth nuclei with 60 # Z # 70 are compared with experiment in Figs. 1–3. The total binding energies are compared in Fig. 1. The isotope shifts d r c2 are compared in Fig. 2. These shifts have been obtained with respect to a reference nucleus (ref.) in each chain as given by d r c2 5 r c2 2 r c2 (ref.). The reference nucleus has N 5 82 for all elements except Dy (Z 5 66), for which the reference nucleus is 156Dy, and Yb (Z 5 70), for which the reference nucleus is 168Yb. Finally, in Fig. 3, the predictions of the RMF theory for the deformation parameters b 2 are com-

pared with the empirical values. It is seen from all three figures that the agreement with the experiment is good. The total binding energies for the three most protonrich isotopes close to the drip line have been compared with the available experimental values in Table I of Ref. [36]. For these nuclei, the root-mean-square deviation between calculation and experiment is slightly larger (3.1 MeV) than the overall deviation (2.6 MeV). Moreover, the calculated binding energies for some light actinide (Z 5 84–92) isotopes exceed the experimental values by more than 5 MeV. These deviations should be attributed to reflection asymmetric shapes of these nuclei. Reflection asymmetry is not included in the current version of the RMF code. In several cases two RMF solutions have been found which differ little in energy. As a result of a complex potentialenergy landscape in the deformation space, the associated shapes are usually of oblate and prolate types. In Table B, the differences in the binding energy of the prolate and oblate minima are listed for those nuclei for which this difference is less than 1 MeV. A negative value implies that the prolate minimum lies lower than the corresponding oblate minimum. The RMF theory predicts that these nuclei are candidates for studying the phenomenon of shape coexistence. 7
