Nuclear masses and deformations

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical theory of nuclear masses and deformations is presented, where the potential energy of a nucleus, considered as a function of N, Z and the nuclear shape, is given by the liquid-drop model, modified by a shell correction.

Funny Hills: The Shell-Correction Approach to Nuclear Shell Effects and Its Applications to the Fission Process

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed various results related to the single-particle structure in spherical and deformed nuclei, discussed from the viewpoint of the so-called shell-correction method.

On the nuclear structure and stability of heavy and superheavy elements

TL;DR: In this article, a modified oscillator model is used to calculate the nuclear potential energy surfaces as a function of deformations. And the average behavior of the surface is normalized to that of a liquid drop through the employment of a generalized Strutinsky prescription, and a synthesis of the single-particle model and the liquid-drop model is obtained.

Calculations in the Liquid-Drop Model of Fission

TL;DR: In this paper, the liquid-drop model of fission has been studied with the use of an electronic calculator, the Eniac, for many shapes not all near-spherical.
