  2. Nuclear shell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_shell_model

    A model derived from the nuclear shell model is the alpha particle model developed by Henry Margenau, Edward Teller, J. K. Pering, T. H. Skyrme, also sometimes called the Skyrme model. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Note, however, that the Skyrme model is usually taken to be a model of the nucleon itself, as a "cloud" of mesons (pions), rather than as a model of ...

  3. Magic number (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(physics)

    In the shell model for the nucleus, magic numbers are the numbers of nucleons at which a shell is filled. For instance, the magic number 8 occurs when the 1s 1/2 , 1p 3/2 , 1p 1/2 energy levels are filled, as there is a large energy gap between the 1p 1/2 and the next highest 1d 5/2 energy levels.

  4. Nilsson model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilsson_model

    The Nilsson model is a nuclear shell model treating the atomic nucleus as a deformed sphere. In 1953, the first experimental examples were found of rotational bands in nuclei, with their energy levels following the same J(J+1) pattern of energies as in rotating molecules.

    For parents, he pushed the idea that the sets' use of chemical reactions directed their children toward a potential career in science and engineering. [ 2 ] In 1954, Gilbert wrote in his autobiography, The Man Who Lives in Paradise , that the Atomic Energy Laboratory was "the most spectacular of [their] new educational toys".

  6. Nuclear structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_structure

    A nucleus with full shells is exceptionally stable, as will be explained. As with electrons in the electron shell model, protons in the outermost shell are relatively loosely bound to the nucleus if there are only few protons in that shell, because they are farthest from the center of the nucleus. Therefore, nuclei which have a full outer ...

    Maria Goeppert Mayer (German: [maˈʁiːa ˈɡœpɐt ˈmaɪɐ] ⓘ; née Göppert; June 28, 1906 – February 20, 1972) was a German-American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate in Physics for proposing the nuclear shell model of the atomic nucleus.

    Shell model can mean: Nuclear shell model, how protons and neutrons are arranged in an atom nucleus; Electron shell, how electrons are arranged in an atom or molecule;
