Abstract
The present study is the second part of a review devoted to the properties of light neutron-rich nuclei. It focuses on the structure of neutron-rich isotopes of light elements with 2⩽Z⩽5 (the isotopes 6,7,8,9,10 He , 10,11 Li , 11,12,13,14 Be , and 14,15,16 B ). The results published up to January 1999 are quoted. The latest results have been obtained by using exotic radioactive targets such as 14 C and 10 Be , and also radioactive beams. Information is given which sheds light on the properties of light nuclei close to the neutron dripline. Unusual properties of such nuclei have been observed (neutronhalo,neutron skin, energy-level inversion, and so on). The experimental data are compared with calculations carried out within the existing theoretical models.
