Bohr Hamiltonian of triaxial nuclei using Morse plus screened Kratzer potentials with the extended Nikiforov–Uvarov method

Abstract

In this work, Bohr Hamiltonian is used to explain the behavior of triaxial nuclei. A new potential, called Morse plus screened Kratzer potential, has been developed for the [Formula: see text]-part with [Formula: see text] fixed at [Formula: see text]. The Extended Nikiforov–Uvarov method involving Confluent Heun functions is used to derive the wave function and energy expression. The electric quadrupole transition rates and energy spectrum of platinum [Formula: see text] are determined and compared with the experimental data and some theoretical results.
