Description

In the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach with Skyrme interactions SLy5+T, SLy5+Tw and several sets of the TIJ parametrizations, the evolution of the proton single-particle energy difference between the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 orbits in Ca isotopes is investigated for the cases with and without the tensor force. It is shown that the energy difference evolution trends by using different Skyrme interactions without the tensor force are similar to each other. However, the energy differences are obviously influenced by the tensor force. Meanwhile, it is found that the inversion between the two orbits (2s1/2-1d3/2 inversion) induced by the tensor force occurs around 48Ca (by SLy5+Tw) as well as in the nuclei very far from the stability. We understand the inversion phenomenon by analyzing the tensor contributions to the spin-orbit potentials and the radial wave functions of the two orbits. Finally, the proton density distributions of 46Ar and 206Hg are calculated by using several sets of Skyrme interactions with and without the tensor component. It is found that the parametrization SLy5+Tw favors the bubble structure of 46Ar resulting from the 2s1/2-1d3/2 inversion. However, for 206Hg any tensor parametrizations do not favor its bubble structure.
