Cluster structures, ellipsoidal shapes and nuclear molecules in light A = 12-50 nuclei

The transition from cluster structures to extremely elongated ellipsoidal shapes and nuclear molecules in light A=12-50 (N~Z) nuclei has been studied within the framework of covariant density functional theory. Nodal structure of the occupied single-particle states plays a critical role in microscop...
