Abstract

In this work, we extend our work on the Heisenberg model of the neutron formulated as a dwarf hydrogen-like atom under the influence of the More General Exponential Screened Coulomb Potential (MGESCP) to show that an atomic nucleus may possess a molecular structure made up of atoms bonding together by a potential used to describe the strong force associated with a generalised Yukawa MGESCP potential. We show that the neutrons and protons are arranged into narrow lattices therefore they may fold to form three-dimensional shells by bonding similar to hydrogen bonding. In particular, the nucleons may form stable structures such as that of fullerenes in which the vertices are occupied by the nucleons which are simply just protons. For example, a nucleus with a total number of 60 nucleons may arrange itself into the topological structure of a buckminsterfullerene. We also apply Schrödinger wave equation with central field approximation to describe the quantum dynamics of nuclei of atomic atoms that now possess the physical structure of a dwarf molecular ion.

  • In our work on quantum dynamics of Heisenberg model of the neutron associated with beta decay, we showed that a neutron may have the structure of a dwarf hydrogen-like atom and the beta decay is a physical process that requires a sophisticated form of potential for its dynamical description, such as a generalised Yukawa More General Exponential Screened Coulomb Potential (MGESCP) potential

Summary

Introduction

In our work on quantum dynamics of Heisenberg model of the neutron associated with beta decay, we showed that a neutron may have the structure of a dwarf hydrogen-like atom and the beta decay is a physical process that requires a sophisticated form of potential for its dynamical description, such as a generalised Yukawa MGESCP potential. We will discuss one such implication and show that the view of the neutron as a dwarf hydrogen-like atom provides the construction of a new model for atomic nucleus in which the nucleus would possess the structure of a molecule made up of atoms bonding together and in particular the bonding can be described using the form of a potential that is used to describe the strong force. For its foundational basis and a more complete presentation of the view that an atomic nucleus can be described as a molecule, we will give a brief account the Heisenberg model of the neutron as dwarf hydrogen-like atom
