Abstract
The nuclear structure properties of heavy and superheavy nuclei lying at the extremes of charge, especially [Formula: see text], and their density profiles have been explored using the relativistic Hartree–Bogoliubov in axial symmetry and the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov framework in transformed harmonic oscillator basis. In this study, we found that the semi-bubble (reduced central density) structure is mainly driven by Coulomb repulsion which stabilizes the nuclei either by pushing the nuclear matter in the surface region or by shape deformation. The shell effect is found maximum in spherical symmetric nuclei as the vanishing fission barrier in Liquid Drop formula indicates that the shell correction energy is responsible for the stabilization of these nuclei.
