TL;DR: A review of recent applications of self-consistent relativistic mean field models to exotic nuclear structure can be found in this article, where the authors provide a rich theoretical framework for studies of nuclei along the valley of β-stability, exotic nuclei with extreme groundstate isospin values and close to the particle drip lines.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new improved relativistic mean-field effective interaction with explicit density dependence of the meson-nucleon couplings was proposed. But it was only applied to the analysis of very recent data on superheavy nuclei.

TL;DR: Relativistic energy density functionals (EDF) have become a standard tool for nuclear structure calculations, providing a complete and accurate, global description of nuclear ground states and collective excitations as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A review of recent studies of the evolution of collective excitations in atomic nuclei far from the valley of β-stability can be found in this article, where the authors focus on the applications of these models to studies of low-energy dipole modes from stable nuclei to systems near the particle emission threshold, to analyses of various isoscalar modes, those for which data are already available, as well as those that could be observed in future experiments, to a description of charge exchange modes and their evolution in neutron-rich nuclei, and to the role of exotic

TL;DR: In this paper, a particular class of relativistic nuclear energy density functionals in which only nucleon degrees of freedom are explicitly used in the construction of effective interaction terms is studied.
