Zeeman splitting in structure and composition of ultramagnetized spherical nuclei

Properties and mass distribution of ultramagnetized atomic nuclei that arise in heavy-ion collisions, magnetar crusts, during Type II supernova explosions and neutron star mergers are analyzed. For magnetic field strength range 0.1–10 teratesla the Zeeman effect leads to linear nuclear magnetic resp...

Description
Summary:Properties and mass distribution of ultramagnetized atomic nuclei that arise in heavy-ion collisions, magnetar crusts, during Type II supernova explosions and neutron star mergers are analyzed. For magnetic field strength range 0.1–10 teratesla the Zeeman effect leads to linear nuclear magnetic response with susceptibility parameter exceeding significantly nuclear g-factor. Respectively, binding energies increase for open shell and decrease for closed shell nuclei. Noticeable enhancement in a yield of corresponding explosive nucleosynthesis products with antimagic numbers corroborate with observational results.
