10. Scientific works:
In my diploma thesis, which I have completed in 1974 under the
direction of S. G. Rohozinski, I investigated
properties of the collective quadrupole states of nuclei which
are soft against the triaxial
deformation. Afterwards I
studied dynamics of the nuclear quadrupole motion in terms of
the generalized Bohr Hamiltonian with the inertial functions and
the potential determined microscopically. In 1979 I have
presented my Ph.D. thesis on a self-consistent method of determination
of the inertial functions within the adiabatic time-dependent
Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov method.
Since 1979 I have been working on the boson expansion methods for fermion systems. I was able to derive a general classification of the available expansions in terms of the structure of their underlying Lie algebras.
During my stay in Orsay, I collaborated with H. Flocard on an improvement of the Skyrme interaction aiming at the simultaneous correct description of the mean-field and pairing properties of nuclei. We applied the improved force in a study of nuclei near the neutron-drip line within the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov method. We constructed and analyzed the solutions of pairing problem in the configuration space.
In collaboration with S. E. Koonin I worked at the California Institute of Technology on applications of the Monte-Carlo method to determine exact ground-state energies of many-fermion systems for a given two-body interaction. We used the functional integration methods and the real coherent states which we have constructed to determine the imaginary-time evolution of the system. At the same time I worked on the description of the zero-point motion of nuclear surface and its influence on the nuclear radii. Such an analysis allowed to explain the discrepancy between the mean-field results and the experimental data on radii of deformed nuclei.
In years 1983-1987 I worked in Warsaw on the self-consistent determination of structure of collective particle and quasiparticle pairs. Together with Dr J. Skalski, we tried in this way to derive the boson models of quadrupole excitations from the Hartree-Fock theory with an effective two-body interaction.
I continued my interest in self-consistent methods during my
stay in Saclay, where I worked together with P. Bonche on
the spontaneous left-right symmetry breaking under fast
rotation. We also analyzed the charge densities of nuclei around
Pb, trying to pin-point the effects of correlations in
nuclear systems, and determined the shape-isomeric states in the
mercury isotopes within the Generator Coordinate Method.
At the same time, I came back to the boson expansion problems and
derived a new method of obtaining the boson-fermion mapping
through a fermion expansion of boson operators. In a schematic
single-
shell model I also analyzed the structure of
quadrupole collective excitations and showed that they can be
fairly well described by single-particle coherent
excitations of a spherical core.
Since many years I have been collaborating with physicists from Orsay, Saclay, Brussels, Lyon and Livermore working on a self-consistent description of superdeformed states in nuclei. In particular, we were interested in studying their decay modes, pairing properties, and octupole correlations.
My collaboration with the groups in Stellenbosch and Rez was concentrated on properties and applications of boson expansion in nuclear physics.
In collaboration with P. Haensel, I have been studying properties of neutron-star crust matter using self-consistent mean-field methods. In particular, we were interested in deriving the equation of state of the stellar medium at densities above the nuclear density. We also analyzed the problem of localization of protons diluted in neutron gas.
My collaboration with J. Dudek aims at a self-consistent description of nuclear rotation and exotic shapes with a particular emphasis on properties of tetrahedral and octahedral minima.
At present, my scientific activity is focused on deriving energy-density-functionals that would precisely describe nuclear spectroscopic data. This project is realized within the FIDIPRO project in Jyväskylä and in collaboration with W. Nazarewicz and the group in Oak Ridge. In particular, we study properties of exotic nuclei far from the beta stability as well as the shell structure and pairing correlations in these nuclei.
