Research Projects

superheavy elements (sHEs) are a significant area of research in chemical, physical, and computational sciences. These elements have atomic numbers of over 100 and are highly radioactive due to their large number of protons and neutrons in their nuclei. They are often difficult to study due to their rarity in the earth's crust and atmosphere. However, theoretically calculated values can make experimental explorations easier and more reliable. This project aims to accurately calculate spectroscopic and structural properties of sHEs using a fully relativistic version of coupled-cluster theory. The correct identification and analysis of sHEs' physical and chemical properties are crucial for placing them in the appropriate positions on the periodic table. The precise position of the "island of stability" centering magic numbers of protons and neutrons for sHEs could potentially be used for fourth-generation nuclear weapons and powerful nuclear fuel for space missions. spectroscopic data on sHEs can also be used to investigate their existence in cosmic rays and stellar and interstellar objects. This project aims to address the quests of scientists worldwide, including those working in nuclear physics laboratories in India.
