Description

The isospin dependence of incompressibility is investigated in Skyrme Hartree-Fock (SHF) and relativistic mean field (RMF) models. The correlations between the nuclear matter incompressibility and the isospin-dependent term of the finite nucleus incompressibility is elucidated using the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The Coulomb term is also studied by using various different Skyrme Hamiltonians and RMF Lagrangians. Microscopic HF+random phase approximation (RPA) calculations are performed with Skyrme interactions for 208Pb and Sn isotopes to study the strength distributions of isoscalar giant monopole resonances. The symmetry term of nuclear incompressibility is extracted to be Kτ=-(500±50) MeV from the recent experimental data of isoscalar giant monopole resonances (ISGMR) in Sn isotopes
