Abstract
We have identified the nuclei in the Te- and Xe-isotopic chains lying close to the critical point, through which the shape phase transition occurs, by using the sextic oscillator potential formalism. It has been found that 110Te, 124Te, and 124Xe isotopes are the most promising candidates for the critical-point nuclei slightly above the Z = 50 proton shell closure.
