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: By exploiting Coulomb dissociation of high-energy radioactive beams of the neutron-rich nuclei, their dipole-strength distributions have been measured as mentioned in this paper, and a sizable fraction of ''pygmy'' dipole strength, energetically located below the giant dipole resonance, is observed in all of these nuclei.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out systematic calculations for the nuclear density functional theory using both nonrelativistic and relativistic energy density functionals to assess the model dependence of the correlation between the nuclear energy density functional and the skin thickness.

TL;DR: The DIRHB package consists of three Fortran computer codes for the calculation of the ground-state properties of even–even atomic nuclei using the framework of relativistic self-consistent mean-field models, enabling efficient and accurate calculations over the entire nuclide chart.

TL;DR: The relativistic quasiparticle random phase approximation (RQRPA) as discussed by the authors is formulated in the canonical single-nucleon basis of the RHB model and applied in the analysis of the evolution of the low-lying isovector dipole strength in Sn isotopes and N=82 isotopes.
