Abstract
Shape-phase transition in neutron-rich Cr isotopes around is investigated by employing the collective Hamiltonian approach. The inertial functions for large-amplitude vibration and rotation are evaluated by the local normal modes along the axial quadrupole collective coordinate using the Skyrme and pairing energy-density functionals. The time-odd components of the mean fields are fully included in the derived masses. The low-lying spectra obtained by requantizing the collective Hamiltonian show an excellent agreement with the recent experimental data. Gradual change from spherical to axially deformed shapes in between and 38 is well described.
