Abstract

The generalized two-center cluster model, which can handle various single particle configurations in general two center systems, is applied to the light neutron-rich system, 12Be = α+α+4N. We discuss the change of the neutrons’ configuration around two α-cores as a variation of an excitation energy. We show that the excess neutrons form various chemical-bonding-like configurations around two α cores in the unbound region above the α decay threshold. The possibility of the α cluster formation in the heavier neutron-excess system, 28Ne, is also discussed.
