Description
The study of exotic nuclei is one of the most fascinating frontiers in nuclear physics. Nuclear radii, including charge radius and neutron root-mean-square (rms) radius, are important properties for atomic nuclei, offering critical insights into the structure of exotic nuclei. In this work, based on the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc), the charge radii for even-$Z$ nuclei with $8 \leq Z \leq 120$ are systematically investigated. The role of nuclear deformation is thoroughly analyzed, underscoring the necessity of microscopic and self-consistent approaches for precise charge radius descriptions. Furthermore, the neutron rms radii for even-$Z$ nuclei are also studied systematically based on the DRHBc theory. By combining these findings with neutron separation energies, potential neutron halos and their underlying microscopic structures are explored.
