Abstract

Inspired by the recent experimental evidences for double magicity in 52,54Ca, we have employed relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach with density-dependent meson-nucleon couplings using DD-ME2 parameter for a systematic study of nuclei with neutron numbers N = 32 and 34 with the help of ground state properties of even–even nuclei. Our extensive calculations include deformation, binding energies, 2p-separation energies, radii, etc. We compare our results with the available experimental data and another parameter of RMF. Our results of potential energy surface, two proton shell gap, isotopic shift, and normalized radius demonstrate signature of double magicity in N = 32 and 34 isotones, in particular for 46,48Si, 60,62Ni along with what found for 52,54Ca.
