Abstract
We have studied shape transition and development of quadrupole deformation in even-even 18-36Ne isotopes by employing covariant density functional theory (CDFT) with density-dependent meson exchange (DD-ME2) and density-dependent point coupling (DD-PC1) parameter sets. A sudden shape transition is observed in the Ne isotopic chain and can be related to the evolution of shell structure of single-particle orbitals. The correlations between shape transition and discontinuity in the other physical observables are also examined. Our results for ground-state properties are in good agreement with the available experimental data and the result of various theoretical models. The present calculations infer the neutron drip line at 34Ne. In addition to shape transition, the bubble structure is also studied for magic nuclei in this chain.
