摘      要：We analyze systematically the effective order parameters in nuclear shape phase transition both in experiments and in the interacting boson model. We find that energy ratios and B(E2) ratios can distinguish the first from the second-order phase transition in theory above a certain boson number N (about 50), but in experiments, only those quantities, such as E(L1+)/E(02+) and B(E2; (L+2)1 → L1)/B(E2; 21 → 01), etc., of which the monotonous transitional behavior in the second-order phase transition is broken in the first order phase transition independent of N, are qualified as the effective order parameters. By implementing the originally proposed effective order parameters and the new ones, we find that the isotones with neutron number Nn = 62 are a trajectory of the second order phase transition. In addition, we predict that the transitional behavior of isomer shifts of Xe, Ba isotopes and Nn = 62 isotones is approximately monotonous due to the finiteness of nuclear system.
