explicitly assumed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> DNS <strong>model</strong> [34], which describes <strong>the</strong> experimental fusi<strong>on</strong> data quite<br />

well. The <strong>nuclei</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> DNS could be h<strong>in</strong>dered to melt toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong> R due to diabatic effects or<br />

due to a specific behaviour <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> mass parameters.<br />

In this chapter we study <strong>the</strong> diabatic potentials for <strong>heavy</strong> nuclear systems as a functi<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> el<strong>on</strong>gati<strong>on</strong> λ, <strong>the</strong> neck coord<strong>in</strong>ate ε and <strong>the</strong> mass asymmetric η us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> method <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

maximum symmetry with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> generalized TCSM [35]. In <strong>the</strong> previous calculati<strong>on</strong>s [57] a<br />

simplified versi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> TCSM was used and <strong>the</strong> role <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> neck coord<strong>in</strong>ate was not taken <strong>in</strong>to<br />

account. We will compare our results with nucleus-nucleus potentials obta<strong>in</strong>ed by us<strong>in</strong>g a double<br />

fold<strong>in</strong>g procedure for <strong>the</strong> nuclear <strong>in</strong>teracti<strong>on</strong>. The calculati<strong>on</strong>s are performed for <strong>the</strong> symmetric<br />

systems 90 Zr+ 90 Zr, 96 Zr+ 96 Zr, 100 Mo+ 100 Mo, 110 Pd+ 110 Pd, 130 Xe+ 130 Xe and 136 Xe+ 136 Xe.<br />

The asymmetric systems 110 Pd+ 136 Xe, 86 Kr + 160 Gd and 48 Ca+ 198 Hg are also studied. The<br />

applicability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> diabatic method will be discussed for collisi<strong>on</strong>s near <strong>the</strong> Coulomb barrier.<br />

3.1 The diabatic potential<br />

In a diabatic descripti<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> nucle<strong>on</strong>s do not occupy <strong>the</strong> lowest free s<strong>in</strong>gle-particle levels as <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> adiabatic case, but rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> diabatic levels dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> collective moti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> nuclear<br />

system. As a result, <strong>the</strong> diabatic potential energy surface is raised with respect to <strong>the</strong> adiabatic<br />

potential energy surface and new potential barriers for collective variables may appear. The<br />

values <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong>se barriers can be also estimated by calculati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> structural forbiddenness <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

fusi<strong>on</strong> [36]. The c<strong>on</strong>cept <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> structural forbiddenness is based <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> difference created by acti<strong>on</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Pauli pr<strong>in</strong>ciple between <strong>the</strong> state <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> compound nucleus and <strong>the</strong> state <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> separated<br />

<strong>heavy</strong> <strong>nuclei</strong> [63].<br />

The total diabatic potential is def<strong>in</strong>ed as<br />

V diab(q) =V adiab(q)+∆V diab(q), (3.1)<br />

where <strong>the</strong> set <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> collective coord<strong>in</strong>ates <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> system is denoted by q. The adiabatic potential<br />
