Surface Symmetry Energy of Nuclear Energy Density Functionals
The thesis studies the bulk deformation properties of the Skyrme nuclear energy densityfunctionals. Following simple arguments based on the leptodermous expansion andliquid drop model, the current research applies the nuclear density functional theory toassess the role of the surface symmetry energy...
