Abstract

This work aims at a systematic investigations of the pairing properties and Fermi properties from the proton drip-line to the neutron drip-line. In order to provide more accurate mass formula with skyrme SKI3 force, the global descriptive power of the SKI3-HFB model for pairing properties are made in this study. Systematic Skyrme SKI3-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations with a mixed volume-surface pairing force are carried out to study the ground-state neutron and proton pairing gap, neutron and proton pairing energy and neutron and proton Fermi energy for about 2095 even-even nuclei ranging from $2\le{Z}\le110 $ to $2\le{N}\le236$. The calculated results of neutron and proton pairing gap are compared with experimental data using the difference-point formulas $\Delta^{(3)}, \Delta^{(4)}$ and $\Delta^{(5)}$, and also compared with the neutron and proton pairing gap of Lipkin-Nogami model. It is shown that the Skyrme-SKI3 functional with the mixed volume-surface pairing force can be successfully used for describing the ground-state pairing and Fermi properties of the investigated nuclei, in particularly the neutron-rich nuclei and the exotic nuclei near the neutron drip-line. On the other hand, the calculated neutron and proton pairing gap are in good agreement with the available experimental values of the neutron and proton pairing gap of the difference-point formulas $\Delta^{(3)}, \Delta^{(4)}$ and $\Delta^{(5)}$ and with the data of Lipkin-Nogami model over the whole nuclear chart.
