Effect of the Pauli exclusion principle and the polarization of nuclei on the potential of their interaction for the example of the [sup.16]O + [sup.16]O system

On the basis of the energy-density method, the effect of simultaneously taking into account the Pauli exclusion principle and the monopole and quadrupole polarizations of interacting nuclei on their interaction potential is considered for the example of the [sup.16]O + [sup.16]O system by using the wave function for the two-center shell model. The calculations performed in the adiabatic approximation reveal that the inclusion of the Pauli exclusion principle and the polarization of interacting nuclei, especially their quadrupole polarization, has a substantial effect on the potential of the nucleus--nucleus interaction.
