Abstract
The tensor force effect on potential energy surfaces of the N = 28 neutron-rich isotones is investigated by using the deformed Skyrme—Hartree—Fock—Bogoliubov approach with the T22 interaction. It is found that, without the tensor force, 40Mg and 46Ar have prolate and spherical ground states, respectively. The ground states of 42Si and 44S are oblate. The shape coexistence in 40Mg, 42Si and 44S is evident. However, the ground state deformations of these isotones are not changed and the shape coexistence in 42Si and 44S vanishes when the tensor force is switched on. Taking 42Si as an example, the disappearance of the shape coexistence is understood by analyzing the tensor force effect on the shell correction energies.
