Abstract
We study various ground-state properties of neutron-rich and neutron-deficient Mg isotopes with A=20-36 in the framework of the self-consistent deformed Skyrme-HartreeFock plus BCS method. The nuclear symmetry energy is investigated for the same isotopic chain following the theoretical approach based on the coherent density fluctuation model. The results of the calculations show that the behavior of the nuclear charge radii and the nuclear matter properties in the Mg isotopic chain is closely related to the nuclear deformation. The temperature dependence of the symmetry energy for isotopic chains of even-even Ni (A=5882), Sn (A=124-152), and Pb (A=202-214) nuclei is investigated in the framework of the local density approximation. The results for the thermal evolution of the symmetry energy coefficient show that for all isotopic chains considered and for both Skyrme forces used in the calculations the symmetry energy coefficient decreases with the increase of the mass number in the temperature interval T=0-5 MeV.
