摘要: The octupole correlations of the $K^\pi=5/2^+$ ground state and the rotational spectrum built on it in $^{229}$Th are studied using the microscopic relativistic density functional theory on a three-dimensional lattice space and the reflection-asymmetric triaxial particle rotor model. It is found that $^{229}$Th has a ground state with static axial octupole and quadrupole deformations. The occurrence of octupole correlations, driven by the octupole deformation, is analyzed through the evolution of single-particle levels around the Fermi surface. The experimental energy spectrum and the electromagnetic transition probabilities, including $B(E2)$ and $B(M1)$, are reasonably well reproduced.
