Description

The molecular orbits of the valence neutrons of a range of deformed α-conjugate nuclei were modelled using linear combinations of single-particle wavefunctions in a harmonic oscillator potential. Molecular structures were found for oblate nuclei from 13C to 25Mg, and prolate chain-state nuclei from 9Be to 25Mg, and for the higher order 2:1 prolate nuclei 21Ne and 33S. These orbitals are shown to be commensurate with the energy level scheme of the deformed harmonic oscillator and the Nilsson model. Tentative links with experimentally observed states are also made
