Abstract
Structures of light unstable nuclei, Li, Be, B and C isotopes are systematically studied with a microscopic method of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. The theoretical method is found to be very useful to study ground and excited states of various nuclei covering unstable nuclei. The calculations succeed to reproduce many experimental data for nuclear structures; energies, radii, magnetic dipole moments, electric quadrupole moments, transition strength. In the theoretical results it is found that various exotic phenomena in unstable nuclei such as molecular-like structures, neutron skin, and large deformations may appear in unstable nuclei. We investigate the structure change with the increase of neutron number and the excitation energies, and find the drastic changes between shell-model-like structures and clustering structures. The mechanism of clustering developments in unstable nuclei is discussed.

The clustered nucleus—cluster structures in stable and unstable nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the development of clustering in light nuclei is presented, mostly from the stand-point of the harmonic oscillator framework, which allows a unifying description of alpha-conjugate and neutron-rich nuclei.

Microscopic clustering in light nuclei

TL;DR: In most nuclei, protons and neutrons are smoothly distributed throughout the nuclear volume. Exceptions to this rule are molecularlike states, especially in light nuclei where light nuclear clusters such as alpha particles are present as discussed by the authors.

Nucleon and hadron structure changes in the nuclear medium and the impact on observables

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model is studied, which is based on a mean field description of non-overlapping nucleon (or baryon) bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons in the isoscalar and isovector channels.

Microscopic description of the nuclear cluster theory

TL;DR: In particular, the important role played by the Pauli principle in determining nuclear characteristics will be extensively discussed in this paper, where the authors explain the foundation of the techniques used in, and the results obtained by a microscopic cluster theory.
