Nuclear shell model
In
nuclear physics
and
nuclear chemistry
, the
nuclear shell model
is a
model of
the
atomic nucleus
which uses the
Pauli exclusion principle
to describe the structure of the nucleus in terms of energy levels. The first shell model was proposed by
Dmitry Ivanenko
(together with E. Gapon) in 1932. The model was developed in 1949 following independent work by several physicists, most notably
Eugene Paul Wigner
,
Maria Goeppert Mayer
and
J. Hans D. Jensen
, who shared the 1963
Nobel Prize in Physics
for their contributions.
