Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

The borders of the periodic table of the elements and of the chart of nuclides are not set in
stone. The desire to explore the properties of atoms and their nuclei in a regime of very large …

During the last decade, six new superheavy elements were added into the seventh period of
the periodic table, with the approval of their names and symbols. This milestone was …

We derive a mean-field relativistic formula for the isotope shift of an electronic energy level
for arbitrary angular momentum; we then use it to predict the spectra of superheavy …

Resonant laser ionization and spectroscopy are widely used techniques at radioactive ion
beam facilities to produce pure beams of exotic nuclei and measure the shape, size, spin …

A 88, 012513 (2013) PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA. 88.012513] to calculations of …

The interest to perform laser spectroscopy in the heaviest elements arises from the strong
impact of relativistic effects, electron correlations and quantum electrodynamics on their …

Until recently, ground-state nuclear moments of the heaviest nuclei could only be inferred
from nuclear spectroscopy, where model assumptions are required. Laser spectroscopy in …

One of the most important atomic properties governing an element's chemical behavior is
the energy required to remove its least-bound electron, referred to as the first ionization …

The Fock space relativistic coupled cluster method (FS-RCC) is one of the most promising
tools of electronic structure modeling for atomic and molecular systems containing heavy …
