CORP SOURCE: Wolfson Coll., Oxford Univ., UK TITLE: Face-centered-cubic solid-phase theory of the nucleus SOURCE: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics), vol.35, no.5, p. 1883- 90 ISSN: 0556-2813 CODEN: PRVCAN PLACE OF PUBL: USA TRANSLATED IN: B04 LANGUAGE: English YEAR: May 1987 TREATMENT: T Theoretical or Mathematical ABSTRACT: The symmetries of an antiferromagnetic face-centered-cubic lattice with alternating isospin layers reproduces simultaneously several one- and two-dimensional spin- and isospin-ordered states which have previously been shown to be low energy configurations for a condensed nuclear phase. The face-centered-cubic lattice also shows a precise correspondence with the j-j model and, consequently, the entire nucleon buildup procedure of the independent-particle model. It is concluded that the study of nuclear condensates at normal nuclear densities should begin with the face- centered-cubic configuration (30 Refs.)
