Abstract
We demonstrate whether the cluster structure dissolves or remains when the shell-model-like model space is introduced in addition to the cluster model space in light nuclei. Although the binding energies of , , and become larger by about 1–2 MeV by adding shell-model-like basis states to the basis states, the structure is a dominant configuration of the ground states. However, -breaking wave functions strongly mix in , and the decrease of the energy from the configuration by about 6 MeV is a clue to resolving a long-standing problem of the binding energies of and . The improved version of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD), AMD superposition of selected snapshots (AMD triple-S), is used to show the cluster-shell competition of these nuclei.
