Study of Binding Energies of the Deformed 230-238U Isotopes Using the Skyrme Force

Abstract

The Thomas-Fermi energy density formalism is employed to study the binding energy of 230-238U Uranium isotopes. Total binding energies of deformed 230-238U isotopes are studied considering the quadrupole β2 and the hexadecapole β4 deformation parameters. The total Thomas-Fermi energy is minimized with respect to deformation in order to obtain the accurate binding energies of the 230-238U isotopes. Calculated binding energies using the present studies are compared with the available experimental data. Well agreement achieved between the calculated and the experimental data. Difference between the calculated average binding energies and experimental data was obtained less than 0.01 MeV.
