title = "Origin of octupole deformation softness in atomic nuclei",
abstract = "Recent high-energy heavy-ion collision experiments have revealed that some atomic nuclei exhibit unusual softness and significant shape fluctuations. In this work, we use the fully self-consistent mean-field theory to identify all even-even nuclei that are unstable or soft against octupole deformation. All exceptional cases of enhanced octupole transition strengths in stable even-even nuclei throughout the nuclide chart are resolved and the origin is found in basic shell structure. The presence of atomic nuclei exhibiting significant softness to quadrupole-octupole deformation is suggested. These results represent a significant advance in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of nuclear octupole deformation and have implications for further experimental and theoretical studies.",
